The next area of our lives the enemy seeks to destroy us our marriage and our family.
I know this hits home for so many of us. The devil is gonna do everything he can to destroy the family. He seeks to destroy the unity between husbands and wives.
Because marriage is the divine plan of God and the enemy cannot stand it. The enemy knows that a husband and wife who are united together and united in Christ will kick in the gates of hell. He also knows that Godly marriages will produce Godly generations. Something my dad wrote that really hits home is this – When a home is busted up it begins the planting of hurts and bitter feelings with everyone involved.
These wounds will have to be harvested and healed and only God can do the healing that these wounds and scars bring. Parents guard your home at all cost.
If you would have told me that ten years after this my parents marriage would have ended I would have laughed at you. The enemy came in like a flood and destroyed. Through many years healing came. In my dads later years he became very sick and my mom took care of him. If you would have told me that my own marriage would have ended in a divorce because of choices I made I wouldn’t have believed you. I saw this hurt in my own children and we have worked to heal. The road hasn’t been easy but we are making progress. The only way that healing came was Jesus stepped into the situation.
I am thankful for the family God has given me. I am thankful for second chances. If you have been divorced it’s not the end of the road. If you are a single parent because things didn’t work out like you planned it’s not the end of your story, allow God to step in your situation and change things. Guard your home and your family from the enemy and all his tricks.
Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.
Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
