Summary

I’m Married Now What?

Part 1: Let’s Talk About Love

Kirk Franklin penned the following words and paired them with beautiful music and name the song LOVE released with the Group God’s Property in 1997.

“Love a word that comes and goes,
But few people really know,
What it means to really love somebody,
Love, though the tears may fade away,
I’m so glad your love will stay,
Cause I love you,
And you show me, Jesus,
What it really means to love.”

Love is one of those words that seems to loose its meaning in the English language.  It looses it meaning when we use it for meaningless banter.  When viewed from a Greek etymological view we see that this simple four letter word is deep and powerful.  Love has the ability to shape your world, move your world and ultimately change your world view.  

Over the next couple of weeks we are going to talk about marriage.  I know for sure that one of my assignments while I am on this earth is to strengthen marriages.  What I do know for sure is that I did not have a father to tell me how to navigate this institution that so many of us choose for our live.  After all the Bible does teach that “marriage is honorable’, so it is great that many of us choose marriage.  Many men make it a plan for their lives to marry, but so many of us have never been shown real love.  When it comes to romancing (which is one of the Greek words for Love) we have been undated with examples from cheesy romance novels to that one uncle who knows how to “get the girls”.  

As we work our way through many scriptures it is my desire that I help you get a deeper better understanding of marriage and the standard that we as men need to hold up in our marriages.

Today’s Scripture: 

1 Corinthians 13 4-7 (God’s Word Translation)

4 Love is patient. Love is kind. Love isn’t jealous. It doesn’t sing its own praises. It isn’t arrogant. 5 It isn’t rude. It doesn’t think about itself. It isn’t irritable. It doesn’t keep track of wrongs. 6 It isn’t happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. 7 Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.

Prayer Points:

Teach me what real love is

Guide me as I lead my wife in love

Teach me to be kind and patience with my wife.

Build my trust with my wife so that I am jealous of her and her accomplishments.

Help me maintain humility in all that i do with my wife.

Thank you for my wife.

It is my prayer that the MorningMeditationForMen podcast/prayercast are helping you to obtain and maintain a deep rich relationship with Jesus Christ, all while enjoying a deliciously brewed rich cup of coffee!

Summary

…but the Lord is faithful.

2 Thessalonians 3:1-5 (NASB)

Finally, brothers and sisters, pray for us that the word of the Lord will spread rapidly and be glorified, just as it was also with you; 2 and that we will be rescued from troublesome and evil people; for not all have the faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one. 4 We have confidence in the Lord concerning you, that you are doing, and will do, what we command. 5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the perseverance of Christ.

This is a statement from a person who has had the opportunity to experience God in a real way. To shift mid thought and drop a line about God’s faithfulness speak volumes about Paul’s relationship with God. The promise of God is that when we accept him we are his children. What he does for one child, he will do for another. I say that to lay the premise that if Paul can experience a faithful God then so can you and I. Say it with me, but the Lord is faithful! Yes, yes, He is! He has promised to keep us from evil.

As I was meditating God shared with me that evil is not always a massive external issued that you have to call heaven and earth to move. Just like the voice of God, evil will whisper in your ear word of doubt, words of unbelief, words of failure. I have said it before and I will continue to say it all of my life the only weapon that the enemy of our soul has is distraction. If the fallen angels can distract you long enough so that you do not believe, then they have won that battle. However they have not won the war. There are time in our lives that we have to step back, refresh, review our strategy and then move forward. David, before he was king, was leading a group of men in battle. Upon their return to their encampment they found everything destroyed and everyone gone. David, cried, David wiped his eyes, David prayed, David pursued, David won! God has promised to not to allow the evil one to overtake us and this is something to be glad about and give God praise for. No mater where you find yourself. If you believe, you will win.

It is my prayer that the MorningMeditationForMen podcast/prayercast are helping you to obtain and maintain a deep rich relationship with Jesus Christ, all while enjoying a deliciously brewed rich cup of coffee!

Genesis 1:26-28

26 Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.” 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.”

Psalm 128:1-2 (Amplified Version)

Blessed [happy and sheltered by God’s favor] is everyone who fears the Lord [and worships Him with obedience],

You will be happy and blessed and it will be well with you.

Summary

Psalms 23

1The Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, to guide and to shield me],I shall not want. 2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still and quiet waters.3  He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.4 Even though I walk through the [sunless] [a]valley of the shadow of death,I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You have anointed and refreshed my head with [b]oil; My cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, And I shall dwell forever [throughout all my days] in the house and in the presence of the Lord.
