“the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delighteth in his way.” Psalm 37:23
My husband’s vision and goal in life were to be a sports coach,
and, although I am not a sports fan, I knew this when we dated, when he
proposed marriage, and when I said I do. As he worked towards this goal, God
opened music and youth ministry opportunities along the way. After years of fulfilling
his heart’s desire, God called him to preach the Gospel—what a curve ball! But we
trusted God’s new direction. Looking back over the years, we saw God’s hand
preparing him not to coach sports but people.
Before you say yes to the engagement and I do in the marriage,
settle in your heart to obey God wherever He may lead you both. Our faithful heavenly
Father directs the steps—the course of life—of the godly, the “good” people who
trust Him, follow Him and try to do His will. God blesses those who bend their hearts
towards Him, and the godly ones delight in the God who guides and cares for
them.
