DAY 17: Love is Satisfied in God

The Lord will continually guide you, and
satisfy your desire.
—Isaiah 58:11

Day 20 was a vitally important in the Love Dare- and in your life. You may have realized that nothing in your toolbox of talents and resources could repair the damage that sin leaves, and that Jesus is the only One who can supply what you've been missing. His wisdom, grace, and power can now be released into everything you do. Including, not the least, your marriage.

Your husband may be late coming home. Again. But God will always be right on time.

Your wife may let you down. Again. But God can always be trusted to deliver on His promises.

Everyday you place expectations on your spouse. Sometimes they meet them. Sometimes they don't. But never will they be able to totally satisfy all the demands you ask of them- partly because some of your demands are unreasonable, partly because your mate is human.

God, however, is not. And those who approach Him in utter dependence each day for the real needs in their life are the ones who find out just how dependable He is.

Can your spouse enable you to be content no matter what life throws at you? No. But God can. There are needs in your life only God can fully satisfy. Though your husband or wife is able to complete some of these requirements- at least now and then- only God is able to do it all.

TODAY’S DARE

Be intentional today about making a time to pray and read your Bible. Try reading a chapter out of Proverbs each day (there are thirty-one—a full month’s supply), or reading a chapter in the Gospels
(Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John). As you do, immerse yourself in the love and promises God has for you. This will add to your growth as you walk with Him.

 

QUESTION OF THE DAY

How do you think spending time daily with God will change your situation and perspective? How can you make Him a bigger part of your day?
