Devotion 3/1, I Pray
The marriage between man and woman is an earthly example of the relationship between Christ and the church (Ephesians 5:31-32). Christ loves His bride ( the church – all believers in Christ), to the point that He laid down His life for her, this is how a man is to love his wife. A woman is to look to and respect her husband as the leader in the family just as Christ is the Head of the church. This is explained in depth in Ephesians 5:21-33.
Marriage is a sacred union before God and is never to be taken lightly. God instituted marriage between a man and woman for our good. The marriage relationship is a wonderful thing when done as God lays it out in His Word. He created us and therefore knows what will make us fulfilled and content in this life. When we follow His order is when we will be at our very best!
Father, thank You for sending Jesus to lay down His life for my sins at the cross of Calvary! Thank You for creating the marriage bond and for giving me a wonderful godly wife. Help our marriage to be an accurate example to others of Christ’s love for His Bride the church. I give You all honor, praise, and glory this day, AMEN!
