Mr. & Mrs.Sample

Keep Up the Fight

The devil is determined to ruin your marriage. He knows a godly husband and wife portray Christ’s love for the church. He’s aware that when “two or more are gathered” in prayer, God is with them. He can see the encouragement and strength found in your family. He’ll do whatever he can to destroy what God has joined together.

Resist him by putting on the armor of God. Fill your minds with the Word so you can recognize his lies. He’ll whisper that divorce is the answer, that your spouse doesn’t really love you. He'll tell you that a sexual experience outside of marriage won’t hurt anyone—that God cares more about your happiness than your wedding vows.

Hold tightly to your salvation and faith in God’s forgiveness. When the enemy works to divide or harden your hearts, show grace instead. When he tempts you to sin, live in obedience by the power of the Spirit. Show kindness and integrity to your partner at all times.

You have all you need to stand firm in God today. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7).

Lord, give us strength to stand firm when the enemy attacks our marriage. Protect us from his schemes that would tear us apart. Amen.
