Imagine you’re on a cruise ship to Miami with one of the best sailor in the world. However, trusting his experience would give no room for frightening when issues arise in the course of the voyage. But in contrast, how would it be when you fly a plane without an experienced pilot, can you enjoy your flight when storms arise or fly alone with an auto-pilot?
Everyone wants to get married and the rat race begins in search for the right partner. Some date and meet their waterloo while others could not achieve success in the union.
It is one thing to trust in God and it’s another to believe He can guide you in search of a spouse. Many of you usually sideline God when it comes to this issue because you believe you can do it or just employ the pattern of the world.
Do you think the place of God is irrelevant in your quest for a marital partner? Or its left only for the ‘churchy’ people? Here are the reasons why you should trust God for a spouse.
1. You don’t know the end from the beginning
Most people usually start their relationship well but it end up hitting the rock too soon. The person you thought you knew fully well would become a different person entirely tomorrow. Why?
Change is constant and humans are likely to change. That a brother or sister seems loving, caring or spiritual doesn’t mean they would forever remain like that. You only know the beginning and not the end.
Don’t deep your two legs in the ocean of a relationship without getting God’s go ahead otherwise you’d have yourself to blame.
2. The wine will finish
So many people are carried away by relationship fantasies, ecstasy and frenzies that they often think it would continue like that forever. In case you don’t know, it will someday end.
Stress, work pressure, household chores and the burden of raising up children would affect all the excitement you once had in the start but God in your union can be easily accessed for restoration when the wine finishes. You surely need His help. He knows the future and the partner that would stick to you come rain or shine.
3. Dating will lead you wrong
Do you think you can get it right by dating? My dear, dating is a sheer waste of your time, life and resources. You cannot know the right person through dating. It’s immoral and ungodly.
Don’t gamble with your life and destiny on a non-platonic relationship as dating. Conserve those energies, resources and time to ‘date’ God so that He can guide you to the right person. Even ‘Christian’ dating as some coined out cannot help you. There are deceivers in the house of God.
4. Only God-ordained union lasts forever
Arranged-marriages can never stand the test of time if God wasn’t involved in it. Whether you lobbied your way into a relationship or it happened anyhow, it cannot survive storm when it comes. If a relationship was initiated through circumstances, it will end up becoming an enduring marriage.
When God is part of your union, coupled with your understanding of how relationship ought to be; your relationship would last forever.
5. You need His wisdom to sail through
No human wisdom, principles or ideologies can make marriage successful other than God’s. Why? He ordained the institution and any wisdom that is not from Him would lead the relationship to divorce.
Even in God ordained marriage, issues are inevitable but when the parties involved reckon with God as their source of wisdom, they will be able to pull through any circumstance.
6. He knows what’s best for you
You don’t know what’s good for you other than the One who created you. God may desire a spouse for you with whom you’d both grow to become great in life while you’re bent on a ready-made person. If you go looking for a rich spouse, you’ll end up frustrating your life and marriage.
It is better you trust God and He gives you His best than to help yourself and bring pain into your life. God’s thought towards His children are always thoughts of good and to give them an expected end.
Don’t think you know it all. God created marriage and only Him can lead you in finding the right spouse that would complement your life and destiny. Don’t help God by dating or be carried away by the excitement of temporal bliss in your relationship. Trust God to choose for you so that you don’t end up living in regret for the rest of your life. Wait for Him because He has an appointed time that He will make things beautiful for you, not in your own timing.
