Passion matters and happiness is great, but rather than being the purpose for marriage, they are benefits. Marriage exists to glorify God by expanding His rule and reach. It uniquely reflects His image like nothing else. When you pursue Gods purpose as a couple, then everything else you value in life such as happiness, love, and satisfaction will fall into place.
Tony Evans, Kingdom Marriage
AS A KINGDOM COUPLE you are called to view marriage through Gods lens. Tony Evans writes that kingdom husbands and wives share a powerful purpose: to function in unison under divine authority in order to replicate Gods image and expand His rule in the world through both their individual and joint callings.
What a privilege and a challenge.
Based on the truths found in Tony Evanss powerful book Kingdom Marriage, this devotional will give you strength and encouragement to apply your faith throughout the ups and downs of life together.
Take a daily journey together along the path of biblical marriage. The inspiration provided in each of these ninety devotions will equip you to more fully grow together to live for Gods kingdom.
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
Romans 12:10, ESV
YEARS AGO IN KOREA, the sight of a young man riding a white pony while carrying a goose meant only one thing. He was heading to his brides house to present the goose to her mother. The goose was symbolic of his pledge of faithfulness, since wild geese mate for life. With it, the hopeful groom honored his potential future family and his beloved.
Grand gestures have been part and parcel of great love stories throughout history. Not one, though, is quite like that of young Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. Ascending the throne at the tender age of eighteen, Victoria married her prince, and together they had nine children and enormous influence on the British Empire and the world.
Most impressive about the strength and love of this marriage is what followed Alberts untimely death, when the queen showed him the greatest honor any wife could give. Many thought her grief was excessive, but Victorias love for Albert demanded nothing less. Still young when widowed, she chose to remain in mourning for the loss of the love of her life. For four decades, Queen Victoria clothed herself daily in black, staying true to the memory of her marriage. There is no greater testament to a spouses love than what this queen unwaveringly gave to her prince.
As followers of the One True King over all, we should seek to honor each other no less, to love each other no less, and to expand Gods dominion and rule no less through all that we do in our marriage.
- How do you honor your spouse?
- What is one way youd like your spouse to show love to you?
- How might your marriage be a reflection of Gods love?
Father, we thank You for the blessing of our marriage. Teach us to honor each other in deeper ways. Amen.
Men stumble over the truth from time to time, but most pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing happened.
Winston Churchill
SOME THINGS JUST MAKE SENSE. If its raining, you go inside. If the gas gauge reads nearly empty, its time to fill up. Logical people might contend that these simple examples of reason illustrate commonsense decision making and interpretation of truth. So what if youre not happy in your marriage? Reason might tell you that its time to call it quits. After all, you deserve happiness, right?
A national study examined marriages that were struggling; some couples divorced while others stayed married. The data collected over five years confounded conventional wisdom. Most of the couples who stayed together over time became happier than those who gained their freedom through divorce and even those who remarried. The couples who stayed together opted to believe Gods truth instead of the world-sanctioned reasonable response to seek divorce.
Family, church, and civil government were designed to operate on a standard of absolute truth. Truth is fundamentally God-based knowledge. In the Garden of Eden, for example, Adam and Eve received the revealed Word of God instructing them that they could eat freely from any tree, except from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. In eating that forbidden fruit, the first couple removed themselves and humanity from the absolute nature of Gods command, ushering human reason into their future equations. Gods truth was plain in those first days of perfect relationship between God and man, but now we must operate through a process of reasoning. As a result, today you must be careful always to place your natural reasoning process as a couple underneath the umbrella of absolute truth. As a kingdom couple you can choose what is truthful or right over what seems reasonable.
