For Better or For Worse

When we said our vows, did we REALLY

comprehend the solemnity of the promises we made?

On our wedding day we were full of hopes and dreams.

We did not foresee calamity or troubles.

We anticipated only JOY.

And rightly so.

Every marriage ought to begin this way.

With JOY.



We cannot tell how long it will be before trials

or tragedies will enter our lives.

But they will surely come.

The only way we can keep the vows we make is

with the LORD and HIS strength.



We are not to become paralyzed with fear about the

"what if's" and the "worry".



NO.



But we do need to dig deep into the LORD and HIS WORD

to fortify ourselves against those potentially devastating

trials and troubles.



We need to GROW.



If we have a sound view of Who God really is.

AND we have a living and breathing walk with HIM.

AND He is our LORD and SAVIOUR.

HE promises that NOTHING will overtake us

and we will NOT be overcome.

HE will NEVER leave us nor forsake us.

**See Hebrews 13:5b**

It is all about HIM!



How precious to know that we will not be tested

above what we can bear!

**See I Corinthians 10:13**

What a sure foundation that is!

AND the LORD will carry us through those impossible times

as we look to HIM for the strength and grace to do so.





We, like most, have experienced some heartache and trials along the way ~

but we can testify that these things have only made us stronger...

in the LORD and as a couple.

Like the strong winds that force the roots of a tree to grow deep,

the trials of life are useful to fortify us and make us strong

IN THE LORD.



If you are facing troubles and trials right now, do not lose hope!

Our Great God is the God of HOPE!

Look to HIM and seek HIM out...

study HIS WORD and seek HIM in prayer.



The following passages of Scripture have meant so much to us,

especially during the trials we have faced ~



Psalm 91 is the "Life-Psalm" we chose together ~

it is WONDERFUL to meditate on!



Psalm 40 would be a glorious Psalm to pray through.



Proverbs 3:5-7



Isaiah 26:3-4

Isaiah 40:25-31

Isaiah 41:10



Jeremiah 29:11-14a



Romans 8:26-39



Hebrews 12:1-3



How WONDERFUL God's Word is!

May the LORD use it to encourage each of us as we

seek to walk with HIM.



Blessings,
