22.01.2022 Marriage week post (from Families.org.au). Scripture Reading Galatians 5:22 The fruit of the Spirit is faithfulness.... Lamentations 3:22-23 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Meditation God is faithful. His Word never changes. He always keeps His promises, and His love never ceases. Because He is faithful consistent and reliable we can live with confidence, knowing that His love for us doesn’t depend on what we did yesterday or what might happen tomorrow. We can rest in God’s love and fully trust Him because He keeps His Word. The Bible tells us in Galatians 5:22 that the fruit of the Spirit is faithfulness. When we invite the Holy Spirit to work in our lives, He can help us become a faithful person someone who is consistent, reliable and trustworthy. What does faithfulness look like in marriage? Faithfulness means keeping your wedding vows, of course, but that’s just the start. Faithfulness also means being consistent in character, actions and speech. Your spouse can be confident in your love and fully trust you. The result? Your relationship can grow deeper and your love stronger. But, remember that faithfulness is a fruit of the Spirit. It’s a God-powered behaviour. And He is always willing to help when you invite Him to be in charge of your character, actions and words. Prayer Heavenly Father, today I thank You for being faithful. Thank You that I can trust Your promises and rest in Your love. Work in me so that I can show Your faithfulness to my spouse and family. Amen. Today’s Question Does our love for each other reflect God’s faithfulness to us? https://www.youtube.com/watch

19.01.2022 Marriage Week Posts: Extinguish the little fires quickly Ephesians 4:26-27 says, Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. We’re human. We all lose our tempers. We all say things to our spouse that are better left unsaid. Our words can hurt.... When our spouse hurts us, it’s natural to feel angry. But you don’t have to respond in anger. Anger is like a spark that starts a fire in your marriage. Unless you extinguish the blaze quickly (Do not let the sun do down on your anger.), those sparks can grow into a raging fire that destroys your marriage. A raging wildfire takes time to contain and extinguish. Likewise, you and your spouse may need time to solve your disagreements. Not going to bed angry doesn’t mean that you have to solve a problem when you’re exhausted and more likely to make things worse. It means that you and your spouse acknowledge that you’ll discuss the issue in the near future when you’re both calm and rested. The Bible also tells us that anger can lead to spiritual struggles. When we stoke those little disagreements, we’re giving Satan an opportunity to heap more fuel on the fire. He is the Destroyer. He wants nothing more than to see your marriage burn to ashes. So, prevent a wildfire in your marriage. Extinguish the little disagreements quickly. And if the fire is too big, call for help. God wants to help your marriage grow. Only you can prevent forest fires. Start by extinguishing the little ones that pop up during the day. You may just get a better night’s sleep. Prayer Heavenly Father, help me avoid responding in anger; and when I do, please remind me to extinguish the little fires quickly. Today’s Question What is a healthy way to recognize when we’ve responded in anger and then work to put it out quickly?

16.01.2022 Scripture Reading Galatians 5:22 The fruit of the Spirit is kindness. Matthew 8:1-4 Meditation... Real life is messy. Our world is messy. And yes, even our marriages can be messy. What’s the right response to all the messiness, pain and need? The fruit of the Spirit is kindness. Maybe that’s not the first response that comes to mind, but it’s how Jesus responded to messiness and need. Matthew 8:1-4 tells the story of a man who asked Jesus to heal his disease. The man suffered from leprosy a skin disease and was considered an outcast. An untouchable. Old Testament laws commanded extreme social distancing for victims. Lepers were shunned, isolated and forced to live outside of cities. Should they venture into the city, they were required by law to shout unclean as a warning to others. Lepers were not allowed to worship in the Temple. When the man with leprosy asked Jesus to make him clean, he was asking for more than physical healing. He was asking Jesus to restore his health, relationships and access to God. The Bible tells us that Jesus did that and more. Jesus willingly and intentionally stepped into the man’s messiness, touched him (a severe health risk and a violation of Old Testament law) and made him whole. The fruit of the Spirit is kindness. Kindness is goodness that meets the need. What does your spouse need? Where are the messy areas of his or her life? We’re not talking about those things you might think need improvement. We’re talking about the messy situations your spouse deals with at work, at church and in their relationships. Where does your spouse need you to show kindness goodness that meets the need? Kindness, the Bible says, is tenderhearted and forgiving, showing others the grace God has shown us. It’s a big challenge. But remember, kindness is a fruit of the Spirit. It’s God-powered behaviour. With His power at work in you, you can step into your spouse’s messy world, show them kindness and grow closer together as a couple. Prayer Heavenly Father, thank you for your willingness to step into our messy lives and show us kindness. Help me show the same kindness to my spouse every day. Today’s Question What is your spouse’s greatest need today and how can you show kindness to him or her? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3jP8TW0XfA&feature=emb_logo

14.01.2022 Psalm 21:6 You make him glad with the joy of your presence. Meditation: It’s easy to confuse joy with happiness. We associate both emotions with goodness and hope. But there’s a difference between the two. Happiness is our response to the good things that happen to us. Joy is the choice to see goodness in spite of what happens to us....Continue reading
