Choose you this day…Who you will serve… Your Marriage or your Career!

In this fast pace world we live in, divorce is on the rise, homes are being wrecked, and marriages disregarded. No one seems to want to slow down; we’re too busy making the next deadline at work, chasing the next promotion, and working hard to beat the next guy or girl to the top. Our relationships suffer from this, and our marriages are falling apart. All the while the alarm is going off inside of us, and all around us, telling us our marriages will end if something isn’t done quickly. Unwilling to listen, we ignore that still small voice, thinking I’ve work so hard for this (fill in the blank), and choose our careers over our marriage. This grieves the heart of GOD, for it is written:

Mat 19:6 So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man 

 not separate."

This refers to places and things as well, not just another person!! It amazing the excuses we come up with to excuse our behavior…

 

Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is; there your heart will be also.

The above passage denotes, we will pour our hearts into the things we consider to be important.  If we deem something to be important, we will make the time for it.  

 

As children of God, we need to understand that promotion comes from GOD, and he will make a way.  Marriage was created by God... He’s in our corner, and will join in with us and help to make ends meet.  He will provide!!  For it is written:

 

Deu 8:18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.

So let’s honor our marriages, and relationships, they are a blessing from the LORD.  Recall the days of your courtship, the endless time spent talking on the phone, the days you felt like you wouldn’t make it through the day unless you seen or spent time with that person. Remember the joy you felt, just being in that person’s presence.   Now return to your first love… Go back to doing the things you did to get the spouse your married to today… Let’s fix our priorities and our marriages!!
