00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:04,118
I just want to share one 
last verse with you all

2
00:00:04,118 --> 00:00:06,526
that I feel like the Lord gave me,

3
00:00:06,526 --> 00:00:09,172
and it's from Psalm 18:30.

4
00:00:09,172 --> 00:00:11,227
And it says, "As for God,

5
00:00:11,227 --> 00:00:14,180
His way is perfect.

6
00:00:14,180 --> 00:00:15,852
He is a shield to all

7
00:00:15,852 --> 00:00:18,117
who take refuge in Him."

8
00:00:18,117 --> 00:00:20,598
And your marriages need a shield.

9
00:00:20,598 --> 00:00:23,336
And one of them that the Bible provides

10
00:00:23,336 --> 00:00:26,265
is this heart-level surrender

11
00:00:26,265 --> 00:00:28,702
to be able to look out on any situation

12
00:00:28,702 --> 00:00:32,926
and say, "As for God, His way is perfect."

13
00:00:32,926 --> 00:00:35,003
And there are going to be days like today

14
00:00:35,003 --> 00:00:36,379
when that is very easy,

15
00:00:36,379 --> 00:00:38,580
and you'll say it through 
smiles and laughter.

16
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:40,282
Don't you just look at today

17
00:00:40,282 --> 00:00:44,680
and say, "God, Your way is perfect."

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,636
But because we live in a fallen world,

19
00:00:46,636 --> 00:00:48,109
there will come days

20
00:00:48,109 --> 00:00:50,512
when you have to say that through tears.

21
00:00:50,512 --> 00:00:53,061
And that's when it's going 
to be the most important,

22
00:00:53,061 --> 00:00:54,740
to be able to look at any situation

23
00:00:54,740 --> 00:00:55,918
that God brings your way

24
00:00:55,918 --> 00:00:59,801
and say, "As for God, His way is perfect."

25
00:00:59,801 --> 00:01:01,200
So remember that.

26
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,384
That for better, for worse,

27
00:01:04,384 --> 00:01:06,336
that heart-level surrender,

28
00:01:06,336 --> 00:01:09,314
"As for God, His way is perfect."

29
00:01:09,314 --> 00:01:10,755
And hide your marriage

30
00:01:10,755 --> 00:01:12,145
behind that shield.

31
00:01:12,145 --> 00:01:14,120
The Lord bless you.
