Daily Delight Devotional – Monday, May 19, 2025

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

– Matthew 6:33

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

– Ecclesiastes 4:12

Marriage is more than just the union of two people, it is a spiritual covenant that thrives when Christ is at the center. Without a strong spiritual anchor, couples are easily tossed by emotional highs and lows, external pressures, or unmet expectations. But when both partners prioritize God and walk in obedience to His Word, they experience a deeper, unshakable bond.

Involving Jesus means prioritizing spiritual growth, setting time aside for prayer, devotion, and honest conversations rooted in truth. When both partners seek God’s heart, they align their desires with heaven’s priorities, and selfish ambitions begin to fade. This shared pursuit becomes the bedrock of mutual respect, grace, and unwavering love.

Even when storms arise, a Christ-centered marriage stands firm because its roots run deep. Choosing Christ first isn’t just a nice ideal, it is a lifeline that breathes peace, clarity, and purpose into your home daily.

Insight: Your marriage becomes unbreakable when it is tied to something eternal – Jesus Christ.

Prayer: Lord, help us put You first in every part of our marriage. Lead us in truth and strengthen our connection to You and each other.
