Trust GOD And Hope In Him Alone
Trust God to do this for you and hope in Him. Do not trust in man to
heal and restore your marriage, trust in God instead.
My friends, if you are separated from your spouse and you have asked
God to heal and restore your marriage, you need to wait on God and
God ALONE. Do not call the pastor, your friends or family to speak
to your spouse on your behalf. Call on God instead. There is
NOTHING too hard for God.
"Thus says the LORD: 'Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes
flesh his strength'" ". . . Blessed is the man who trusts in the
LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree
planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and
will not fear when heat comes; but her leaf will be green, and will
not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding
fruit." (Jeremiah 17:5a, 7-8).
We only have two choices to heal and restore our marriage, man or
God. When man is the object of our hope, the result is the curse of
spiritual barrenness. "Cursed is the man who trusts in man."
Contrariwise, when God is the object of our dependence, the result is
great blessing. "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and
whose hope is the LORD."
My friends, hear me, trust in the Lord to do this for you. Men will
fail you. When your marriage is healed and restored by God, it is
well restored. The spiritual blessing that comes from trusting in
the Lord is likened to a tree that is growing by the continual flow
of a river. "For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters."
The riverside is the ideal location for developing a flourishing
tree. Trusting in the Lord is the only setting in which a
flourishing spiritual life can be developed. A tree that is located
by the river sends out its roots to take in more and more life-giving
water: "which spreads out its roots by the river." The Christian
who is hoping in the Lord finds the life his inner man cherishes, and
he reaches out for more of that life for which he yearns.
When the heat of drought comes, it is a dreadful threat to plant-life
(unless the plant is located beside a sufficient river). When the
heat of battle or impossible circumstances arise, it can pose a
fearful threat. Even a child of God is tempted to be anxious.
However, if the Lord is our hope, we "will not fear when heat
comes . . . and will not be anxious in the year of drought."
Instead, we will continue in growth and spiritual fruitfulness. "Her
leaf will be green, and will not . . . cease from yielding fruit."
