DEVOTIONAL:
Scripture: Psalm 16:9–11 (TPT) - "My heart and soul explode with joy—full of glory! Even my body will rest confident and secure. For you will not abandon me to the realm of death, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience corruption. For you bring me a continual revelation of resurrection life, the path to the bliss that brings me face-to-face with you.”
During this season of standing for the restoration of your marriage, more than anything, God is inviting you to draw closer to Him and discover a fulfillment that transcends human relationships. Psalm 16:9–11 assures us that God is the ultimate source of joy, confidence, and security. He desires to meet and fulfill all the needs and desires of your soul as you patiently wait for restoration to occur.
It’s crucial that in the middle of your stand, let your heart and soul explode with joy and be full of glory—not because of your circumstances, but because of your relationship with Christ. As you seek Him wholeheartedly, you'll find that He alone can satisfy the deepest longings of your soul. Embrace this time as an opportunity to reorder your heart's priorities and allow Christ to bring you fulfillment in a way that no one else can.
God promises that He will not abandon you. Even when it feels like everything is falling apart, His presence is your constant source of confidence and security. Your body can rest assured that He is in control, working all things for your good and His glory. When you trust in God's unfailing love and sovereignty, you can stand strong, knowing that He will never leave you nor forsake you.
As you wait for your marriage's restoration, let your focus be on God's continual revelation of resurrection life. He is the source of new beginnings, redemption, and transformation. In His presence, you will find the path to bliss that brings you face-to-face with Him. This closeness with God is a unique fulfillment that transcends the fulfillment of any human relationship.
While it's natural to desire the return of your spouse, allow this season to become a time of deepening intimacy with Christ. Seek His face daily through prayer, worship, and the study of His Word. Let Him fill the voids in your heart and heal the wounds of the past. As you surrender your desires and dreams to Him, you'll discover that His plans and purposes for your life far exceed your expectations.
God's desire is for you to experience His love, joy, and peace on a profound level during this journey. Instead of allowing your stand to be characterized by anxiety or impatience, choose to find fulfillment in Christ. As you do, you'll become a testimony to His faithfulness and goodness, drawing others, including your spouse, to His love through your transformed life.
