Becoming Precise

The Wise and Foolish Builders

“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. Matthew 7:24-25 (NIV)

Two becoming one requires an intentionally precise effort from both of you. Precision isn’t the same as perfect. Only Jesus was perfect in His human form, but pursuing God’s will for our life and relationship should be based on the precision of seeking His will as it comes to living life.

It’s not uncommon for couples to try charting their course apart from the precise map God created for them. They will never reach the destination designed by the Designer without following His Word.

Be precise in your efforts to become one. Don’t waste time or energy exploring dead-end trails or vague efforts leading to vague outcomes. God’s straight pathway is the exact route to enjoying a blessed life of you two becoming one wonderful one!
