00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:04.118
I just want to share one 
last verse with you all

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

00:00:06.526 --> 00:00:09.172
and it's from Psalm 18:30.

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

00:00:11.227 --> 00:00:14.180
His way is perfect.

00:00:14.180 --> 00:00:15.852
He is a shield to all

00:00:15.852 --> 00:00:18.117
who take refuge in Him."

00:00:18.117 --> 00:00:20.598
And your marriages need a shield.

00:00:20.598 --> 00:00:23.336
And one of them that the Bible provides

00:00:23.336 --> 00:00:26.265
is this heart-level surrender

00:00:26.265 --> 00:00:28.702
to be able to look out on any situation

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

00:00:32.926 --> 00:00:35.003
And there are going to be days like today

00:00:35.003 --> 00:00:36.379
when that is very easy,

00:00:36.379 --> 00:00:38.580
and you'll say it through 
smiles and laughter.

00:00:38.580 --> 00:00:40.282
Don't you just look at today

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

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

00:00:46.636 --> 00:00:48.109
there will come days

00:00:48.109 --> 00:00:50.512
when you have to say that through tears.

00:00:50.512 --> 00:00:53.061
And that's when it's going 
to be the most important,

00:00:53.061 --> 00:00:54.740
to be able to look at any situation

00:00:54.740 --> 00:00:55.918
that God brings your way

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

00:00:59.801 --> 00:01:01.200
So remember that.

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.384
That for better, for worse,

00:01:04.384 --> 00:01:06.336
that heart-level surrender,

00:01:06.336 --> 00:01:09.314
"As for God, His way is perfect."

00:01:09.314 --> 00:01:10.755
And hide your marriage

00:01:10.755 --> 00:01:12.145
behind that shield.

00:01:12.145 --> 00:01:14.120
The Lord bless you.
