It was a lot of fun to be at our friends wedding this weekend. They are a lovely couple and it was clear that God has put them together. There is certainly a lesson in that. Marry the person that God has appointed for you to marry. Other than giving our life to Jesus, what could be more important?
The late Kenneth Hagin said that in his sixty-plus years of ministry, God had often told people who took the time to inquire of him regarding his will not to get married, though Brother Hagin had never experienced God saying yes. From his perspective, people could ask God for permission to get married, & if it was not his will, he would say no. Can you imagine that? God is willing to save us from a lot of heartache if we would follow the example of King David and inquire of the Lord before we make major life decisions. God often leads us by closing doors & avenues, as often as he does by opening them. One of the keys is to be fruitful where we are at, and remain patient, and he will open things up in his timing. When he does, there will not be as much uncertainty, and often we will experience a greater sense of peace… & life.
Hope some of this helps someone. Happy Holidays! J Bryant
