Alone in a Crowd

Tuesday - 2/13 - Read Malachi 2:10-16

I related the account of when I was lost and all alone in a crowded store. Alone in a crowd of people? I was terrified.

Do you feel that way in your marriage? You're surrounded by your husband/wife and perhaps your children and in-laws, etc., but you feel so alone.

Could it be that you're experiencing that detached, terrifying loneliness because you've lost track of God in your marriage?

My parents weren't really that far away when I was “lost”--just a few aisles over. God isn't far away right now for you.

Have you and your mate acted on the need to cry out to Him for Him to return to His place in your marriage? Will the information you gained on Sunday perform a disappearing act in your mind, or will you act on it?

Nobody likes confrontation, but did God's word confront you and your mate? Have you talked about it? Do you want to settle for the status-quo?

If you're marriage is healthy, did you notice the need for some tweaks in your relationship to grow to the next level in an already healthy marriage?

Read Malachi 2:17-3:5 in preparation for next Sunday.
