GOOD OR GODS CHOICE? Christians must realize that it’s more important to be certain that a marriage is God’s will than to judge his/her suitability for marriage by love, attraction, or compatibility. Situation changes and we grow through the years, you cannot predict future compatibility on your own. When you accept compatibility as a primary basis of marriage, you can be led into cultural traps such as living together before marriage to make sure you are compatible. Listen, the qualities that seem attractive in the beginning may prove difficult to live with in the long run. The man who falls in love with a woman’s attentiveness may find out it is the very quality that drives him nut when he can’t get enough space. The woman who is in love with a man’s drive to succeed may find that quality irritating and destructive when he spends more time at work than at home. Your choice of who to marry is more critical than everything else combined that you’ll ever do to make your marriage succeed or to have a great wedding. If you choose wisely, your life will be significantly easier and infinitely more satisfying. But if you make a serious mistake, your marriage may fail, causing you and perhaps your children immeasurable pain. What might seem like a good choice at the time may not be a God choice for a lifetime. If you “lean on your own understanding. Your faithfulness to God’s leadership will continue the fulfilment of Gods purpose in your life that will extend beyond your lifetime. The question is not how to find a mate, but who will find the mate - you or God. Perhaps you may quote He that finds a wife but there are many things you cannot find with your knowledge. God will direct you in choosing His best if you involve Him in your search. God knows the end from the beginning, nothing is beyond Him, because nothing is before God. He is the one who creates love, not man. Confession: I will not miss it Prayer: Father, I cannot do this on my own, help me, strengthen my waiting ability. Give unto me your perfect choice, for it is your will I want and not my wish. Oluwatoyin Adebowale KEY ©2014
