Building a Strong Marriage

DAY 1 OF 5

A Strong Foundation

“The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Proverbs‬ ‭18:10‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The name of the Lord is a strong tower. According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for “name” is ‘shem’ (H8034) which means, “Reputation, fame, or glory.” Build your marriage on the name, reputation, and glory of Jesus Christ. When you choose to build your marriage upon the principles and precepts of His Word you will find shelter and safety in the time of the storm. He is consistent. He is reliable. 

Let His reputation coat and cover every aspect of your life and marriage. Let His character lead and guide every aspect of your family and marriage. Let His way shield you from the storm. When the waves and winds of life try to sink your ship — choose to turn to Christ. 

Choose to turn to Him in the middle of a crisis. Choose to turn to Him in the middle of calamity. Turn to Him in every season of your marriage. Choose to turn to Him in every season of your life. His name is Strong. His reputation is credible. His way is reliable. Run to Him — He is the Strong Tower.

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for “tower” is ‘migdal’ (H4026) which means "elevated stage.” Let Christ become the elevated stage of your marriage. Let His name and reputation become your elevated platform and your secure foundation. 

When waves rise and the storms crash against your home — let His name become your family’s secure foundation. Run to Him — there is safety in Christ. No matter what you're facing — God is greater than the problems that come your way. Choose to turn to Him.
