Through out scripture, men and women made vows to God when they were in trouble or backed in a corner. Jacob vowed a vow, saying , “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that l go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that l come again to my father’s house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God: And this stone, which l have set for a pillar, shall be God’s house: and of all that thou shalt give me l will surely give the tenth unto thee.”Genesis 28:20-22“ Jacob made this vow on the way to the house of Laban. He had walked all the way from present-day Israel to present -day Iraq. He was in trouble. He had lost his home. His life was in danger. His brother had threatened to kill him. People generally don’t make vows unless they are in trouble and they are backed into a corner.Jacob was obviously aware that his survival was obviously aware that his survival was at stake. Where would he get food and water? How could he protected from the dangers he faced? That’s when he vowed that if God would get him where he was going and back, he would give a tenth of everything he owned. Make a vow to The Lord, consider yourself and determine to fulfill your vows to Him.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 is not only about marriage, but it sure fits a marriage covenant, two are better than one… ending with this wonderful wisdom saying: “A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” Two, two, two, two…then suddenly three. The 3rd strand is Jesus Christ interwoven into the marriage. Remember your covenant is not only with your spouse but with The Lord Jesus aswell.

God is always working behind the scenes. Changing minds, softening hearts, positioning helpers, directing processes… He works it ALL out for His glory and our good. Keep trusting, obeying, and praising. You will testify of the power, faithfulness, goodness, and mercies of God! It is so much more than you thought! 🙏🏾❤️

There is no wisdom, no understanding, no counsel that can prevail against the LORD. He LOVES delivering us.
