Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     Marriage is a Divine opportunity to Take Up The Cross.
     Most young people are under the illusion that marriage is the place to find 
happiness and contentment.   And, if you look at the shelves in Christian bookstores, 
you will see dozens of authors offering ways to work things out in compromise and
counseling.
     The Bible instructs us differently.
     We are told how to behave toward the other, and we are told what attitude to hold.
When we tell Him He can have us, He is free to introduce Heaven into our lives.
     That means the death of the flesh.
     Have you perceived a Theme lately?
     Perhaps the Lord is alerting you that He is the Lover of Your Soul, and He has 
freedom for you beyond your wildest imagination.
     Soldier, please.
     Pray outloud.
     In the language of your understanding.
     Declare to the Lord that you will allow Him to do what He wants with you in order to
work in your mate.
     Stand back in the Holy Spirit.
     Watch the Power of Obedience!
