A Little God Time For CouplesSample

True Wealth

Have you and your spouse ever been in a situation where it seems like everyone else is prospering more than you? You’ve watched your friends wear their stilettos or power suits as they climbed the corporate ladder. You’ve seen photos from their exotic trips. And you’ve visited their gorgeous homes complete with fancy cars and gleaming boats in the garage. Meanwhile at your house, you’re stretching the budget by eating beans and rice. Your cheap car is falling apart, and your home needs repairs. 

Sometimes it’s hard not to be envious. It’s often difficult to understand when you’re trying to serve God and your friends aren’t. That’s when we’re wise to be still before God and to share our hearts with him. When we stop to think about it, we realize that we’re the ones who are truly blessed. Our homes might be humble, but they’re happy. Our trips might not be expensive, but they’re filled with laughter and love. Our riches aren’t in our possessions—they’re in each other. 

What makes you truly wealthy? When’s the last time you thought about how rich you are to have each other? 

Lord, help us to realize our true wealth lies in each other. Thank You for blessing us.
