Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt Anybody can build a house, but only God can build a home. That is exactly what Psalm 127:1 says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” (Psalm 127:1) God wants to be the custom builder of every home. God only needs two pieces of material – a man and a woman. These are just the raw materials. What God uses to build His home is a God-given husband and a God-given wife. God wants that home to last. That is why there must not only be allegiance, but there must be permanence. The man is to leave his father and mother and then “Hold fast to his wife.” That word “hold fast” literally means “to be glued to” or “to be cemented to.” Do you know what every husband is to do with his wife once he marries her? He is to hold on to her for dear life – no matter what. It is that process of holding on that builds us. It builds character. It builds perseverance. It builds faith. It builds trust and it builds love. When God ties the knot it is because we allow Him to bring us together. Share this with a friend. Give them the gift of God’s inspiration. #Jesus #Christian #Church #Faith
