GUARD HEART AND MIND—IN THE WORD

Do you find yourself going places in your mind that you really shouldn’t? Married or single, be on guard. It’s amazing how much your thought life can affect your desire for your husband and his place in your heart, and the intimacy of your relationship with him and with the Lord. Is there anything that takes the place that is only reserved for the Lord or your husband?

A beautiful way to begin to guard our hearts and minds is to allow the Lord to wash us with the water of His Word. Regarding the Exodus passage, ask the Lord to prick your conscience in the area that needs adjusting. Our inner heart condition directly impacts our relationships with others, especially with God and with our husbands.

In Proverbs, what did Solomon say to his son? What can we learn?

As women, we long for meaningful relationships. Most of us long for romance, tenderness, and intimacy. But unconfessed sin, wrong priorities, and lack of time spent with the Lord in His Word can profoundly negatively affect your sex life. Casual regard for the Word and its instructions will directly impact our marriages, our homes, our family lives, and our effectiveness in the church and the world. Conversely, seeking the Lord first will profoundly affect your relationship with your husband and your sex life in a very positive way. If you are not pursuing the Lord with all your heart there is a very good chance that sexual and emotional aspects of your marriage will be stunted as well as spiritual ones. An emptiness, a disconnect, and a superficiality will exist that even our children will sense. The ripple effect spreads much further beyond the marriage bed or the four walls of your home.

Where do you need to make adjustments? Where do you see difficulties in your relationship with the Lord or with your husband?

Ask the Lord to search your heart. In your thinking, is there anything you need to bring before Him? Call out to Him! He wants you to have incredible, life-changing intimacy with Him and with your husband. There is nothing He cannot forgive. There is no feeling, no matter how angry or apathetic, that He cannot change!
