Change Your Home Overnight - Love Worth Finding - January 18
January 18, 2025 – Change Your Home Overnight
Matthew 5:31-32
Sermon: 1679 A Foundation for the Family, Part 2
Pray Over This
“Furthermore it has been said, ‘Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I say to you that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery.”
Matthew 5:31-32
Ponder This
If you are married, you made a vow to your spouse. It is not only your happiness, but also his or her welfare you need to be concerned about. You made a vow to Almighty God. A vow is more than a one-time commitment. It is a promise with a commitment attached to it. You may feel tired or frustrated with the person you married but think about the commitment you made to him or her. Are you looking out for his or her welfare? Think about the commitment you made to God. Do you trust Him to heal your marriage, even when you feel done?
Marriages are not healed overnight and even if you desire to put your marriage back together, it’s not going to be a wonderful fairytale moment. As a matter of fact, it may be tortuous. While marriages are not healed overnight, the direction of your marriage can be changed overnight. That’s the important thing—that you turn to God and begin in the right direction. It may take you a long time to get there, but at least you’re headed the right way. By a decision, a consecration, and a surrender of your will, the direction of your home can be changed—not by your own strength but by the power of our Savior.
- What is the direction of your life right now? Are you going toward God or away from Him? Explain.
- What are some areas of your marriage or life that need to be healed by God?
Practice This
Pray for your spouse; if you are not married, pray for a couple you know.
