Scripture - Genesis 2:24, “24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.”

Observation - God made the woman for the man to be a helper suitable. To be a blessing, a friend, a companion to go through life, and a constant source of encouragement to remain faithful to God. When God blesses man with a wife, the Proverbs says he has acquired a good thing. For those of us who are married, let us be reminded of the blessing we have received from the Lord!  May we cherish the first institution that God established on the face of the Planet, Marriage and Family. May we seek to be kinder, gentler, and more loving in 2011.

Application – I just celebrated my fifteenth year of marriage on December 30th, so, my desire (for this year) is to be a better husband. I want Kristie to know that she is a blessing to me. I desire for God to transform me to be more like Christ each day in 2011. It is my desire to do a better job of parenting; and to be a better husband this year than I was in the previous years.

Prayer – Dear Lord, I desire to be a godly man! I desire to be in your Word this year more than I ever have in the past. I desire to pray more and to be a better husband and father. Lord, please transform me into the image of your Son! In Jesus Name.  Amen!
