Psalm 101:2 (NIV)
2 I will be careful to lead a blameless life—when will
you come to me?
I will conduct the affairs of my house with a blameless
heart.
In the marriage ceremony, after the vows are said, the
minister solemnly and reverently remarks, “What God hath joined together let no
man put asunder.” Is not God the third part in a marriage? Should He not be
taken into account in the marriage, and in the home that emerges from that
marriage? If God joins the couple together at the outset, should not His
presence be recognized in the home continually? Many homes are on the rocks
today because God has been left out of the domestic picture.
With the clash of personalities in a domestic pattern, there
must be an integrating force, and the living God is that Force! Many couples
think that if they have a better home, get a better job, or live in a different
neighborhood, their domestic life will be happier. No! The secret of domestic
happiness is to let God, the party of the third part in the marriage contract,
have His rightful place in the home. Make peace with Him, and then you can be a
real peacemaker in the home.
Thought for today:
How do I find or create peace?
