Genesis 24:1-3 ESV
Now Abraham was old, well advanced in years. And the Lord had blessed Abraham in all things. 2 And Abraham said to his servant, the oldest of his household, who had charge of all that he had, “Put your hand under my thigh, 3 that I may make you swear by the Lord, the God of heaven and God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell, 4 but will go to my country and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.
REFERENCES: 2 Corinthians 6:14, Genesis 24:57-58
No matter what season you are in: single, dating, or married, picking a partner wisely becomes a part of your legacy. Relationships nowadays are becoming more individualized, but for followers of Christ, they don’t have to be that way. In a marriage, you will spend your life with with another person, and more than a physical attraction, there are other areas that need attention when you choose to do life with another person. Use the filters of faith, friction, friendship, family and focus to help you through this journey.
Real love is about a choice
More than the spark of physical attraction you can feel toward someone, faith should be the foundation of a relationship. Faith doesn’t eliminate friction. And so embracing sparks from friction can be healthy when it’s coming from a place of respect and love.
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?- 2 Corinthians 6:14
As we step into relationships, we’d be wise to note friendship, family and focus are huge aspects of all our lives. The truth is, any healthy relationship is built on a healthy friendship, which has a natural flow and rhythm. Once we come to understand each other’s rhythm we should be prompted to learn about each other's origin story and focus for the future.
When he had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out of a window and saw Isaac laughing with Rebekah his wife. - Genesis 26:8
Kingdom relationships are first built upon kingdom minded individuals. When we give our lives to Jesus, we have the free gift of an upgraded life, and It's our responsibility to walk in that upgrade. There is power in choice, and choosing the right partner to do life with, can either be your greatest asset, or biggest liability. When we filter our choice through faith, friction, friendship, family, and focus we are able to have a clear mind, and sharp discernment to seek out the diamonds in the rough, and choose with wisdom.
If you don't have a vision for your relationships, take a moment this week to ask God to show you his plan and purpose for the relationships in your life.
