Topic: Wait a minute… think [Saturday June 6, 2015]
“Any enterprise… becomes strong through common sense…”-Proverbs 24:3 (TLB)
My husband, Dr David Oyedepo, says that a successful family life is a covenant enterprise that is “built by the couple through wise planning, becomes strong through the application of common sense and profits wonderfully by continuously keeping abreast with the facts.” One way your family can apply this definition is by meditating deeply on the happenings in your home, ways to move forward and steps to take in doing that.
If you can, take a minute to think through the most recent challenge you had as a couple. You will realize that something similar had occurred before. This means that if you had thought through the previous and examined your ways to see how such an incident can be avoided, the recent wouldn’t have occurred.
People go through rough times in marriage because they have not stopped to think of those things that probably upset their spouse, better ways to handle the situations and possible ways their marriage can be improved. There’s something about your ability to think. It gives you fresh ideas and also helps you to be organized.
So, before you take that step, before you say those words to your spouse, before you write him or her off as the wrong person for you, why not think through the events of your home. The part you have played, what you have done right or wrong and ways you can improve. You will find out that the answer has always been in your hands, but your mind had not been made to access it due to mental laziness. Meditation is a vital key to your successful marriage; make use of it.
Remain Blessed!
