Your Spouse As A Vessel Of Your Blessing

I have had the Lord bless me so richly as I share His word on this platform that I always want to share the more of God's goodness again and again. Indeed you cannot have a relationship with Christ and be at a disadvantage. Challenges may come but with Christ there is always a way out of every trying moment.
Today I just want to share something very brief on the issue of marriage. Like I said in a number of my previous posts, my marriage has been through its own share of troubles, but I can't ask the Lord for a better husband than the wonderful man He has blessed my life with. Indeed we have weathered the storm together and we have come out as brand new people in love over again after ten years of marriage and four children adorning our lives.
The question I want every married person to ask him or herself is that "Is it possible for the Lord to bless you through your husband or wife?" The deep understanding of your answer to this question will go a long way in cementing your relationship in your marriage.
In the days when my marriage was greatly troubled and I didn't see anything good about my husband despite the fact that I was a Christian, this question came to my mind a number of times and I despised my husband so much that I never imagined that he could be of any good to me. In fact when I prayed to God for a need in my life, I always had this wish that God will answer me but surely not through my husband.
But as the Lord began to heal my and marriage and I started to understand better what the Lord expected of me in marriage, one of the beautiful things the Lord built into His healing formula was that He made my husband become very sensitive to my needs. And for some years back now the Lord has been meeting my needs and answering my prayers through my husband. Each time I pray for something, I find my husband doing for me exactly what I have prayed for in the way and manner which I prayed for it. The man that I had once despised has become the vessel in the hands of God in providing me with the desires of my heart. The end result of this is that it has made me appreciate my husband the more and know God the more in His loving kindness and wisdom.
The lesson in this is that "Have you also written your spouse off as a never do well?" If yes, then you might just be acting in error. You just cannot tell if your so called never do well spouse is the vessel in the hands of God to bring about the answer to your long lasting prayer request. It just will not do you any arm if you can play down on your pride and obey God's guiding rules of marriage. The wife submitting to her husband as unto the Lord Ephesians 5:22-24 and the husband loving his wife as Christ loved the church Ephesians 5: 25-31. It has worked for me and I guarantee it will work for you.

Why Do We Worship God

Many people feel like they should only praise God when they have received a blessing from God. Honestly, I was in that category too, so I am...
