Together but alone in a marriage relationship - who is the influencer and who is the influenced? That’s what we’ll be looking at on this episode of Married By Design.
Paul wrote in Romans 12:2 that believers should not be, “conformed to the world, but transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.” To show what is good and acceptable and perfect by not conforming but by being transformed. Not allowing the environment to force you into a godless mold.
What a challenge for the spouse whose partner is not following the Lord. There could be such a tendency to take the easy way out and just fit in. Or to bow to the pressure of their spouse and conform to their expectations, attitudes and lifestyle.
Your homework, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to read through Daniel 1- every day if needed, to get into your thinking the high call on your life to not conform but to be transformed. Pray that God would make you a Daniel. If you are encouraging someone who is married but alone, pray for them in this regard and consider sharing one idea that we have looked at this week.
