I just want to share one [br]last verse with you all

0:00:04.118,0:00:06.526
that I feel like the Lord gave me,

0:00:06.526,0:00:09.172
and it's from Psalm 18:30.

0:00:09.172,0:00:11.227
And it says, "As for God,

0:00:11.227,0:00:14.180
His way is perfect.

0:00:14.180,0:00:15.852
He is a shield to all

0:00:15.852,0:00:18.117
who take refuge in Him."

0:00:18.117,0:00:20.598
And your marriages need a shield.

0:00:20.598,0:00:23.336
And one of them that the Bible provides

0:00:23.336,0:00:26.265
is this heart-level surrender

0:00:26.265,0:00:28.702
to be able to look out on any situation

0:00:28.702,0:00:32.926
and say, "As for God, His way is perfect."

0:00:32.926,0:00:35.003
And there are going to be days like today

0:00:35.003,0:00:36.379
when that is very easy,

0:00:36.379,0:00:38.580
and you'll say it through [br]smiles and laughter.

0:00:38.580,0:00:40.282
Don't you just look at today

0:00:40.282,0:00:44.680
and say, "God, Your way is perfect."

0:00:44.680,0:00:46.636
But because we live in a fallen world,

0:00:46.636,0:00:48.109
there will come days

0:00:48.109,0:00:50.512
when you have to say that through tears.

0:00:50.512,0:00:53.061
And that's when it's going [br]to be the most important,

0:00:53.061,0:00:54.740
to be able to look at any situation

0:00:54.740,0:00:55.918
that God brings your way

0:00:55.918,0:00:59.801
and say, "As for God, His way is perfect."

0:00:59.801,0:01:01.200
So remember that.

0:01:01.200,0:01:04.384
That for better, for worse,

0:01:04.384,0:01:06.336
that heart-level surrender,

0:01:06.336,0:01:09.314
"As for God, His way is perfect."

0:01:09.314,0:01:10.755
And hide your marriage

0:01:10.755,0:01:12.145
behind that shield.

0:01:12.145,0:01:14.120
The Lord bless you.
