"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother [and be joined to his wife], and the two shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh." Mark 10:7-8
Who is the perfect example of the perfect covenant union? Jesus and His Father, He was the obedient Son, who laid down His life. Being of one flesh does not always mean you are both in agreement but it does mean that you are willing to give of yourself to serve the other. We live in a world that denies this truth, its goal is to divide and conquer. It wants your "yes" to be "no" and your "no" to be "yes". The world teaches self over other. Rethink your priorities and give of your self to your spouse, be of one flesh with Jesus being at the center. Even if you are not in agreement He is leading the way, trust in Him for His "Yes" is Yes. Allow Christ to lead you to the perfect covenant union with the gift He has given you, your spouse.
Dear Lord, I pray for Your covenant family as it is always under attack but we are protected by You when we submit ourselves into Your care. I thank You for this day and the insight that is readily available when we seek to serve others and not ourselves. Bring peace into relationships that are hurting, remove the anger and allow each to grow in a deeper union with You. Bless this day Lord and Thank You for always being there! In the name that saves, Jesus Christ, Amen.
