1 Samuel 12:24 "Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you."

Romans 12:11 "Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;"

James 4:1-7

1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.

3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Alot of husbands and wives are in ministry together, which can be a hardship sometimes on the marriage. Because of leadership positions and home obligations, there needs to be an open line of communication between spouses. There should also be a balance. Pray along with reading and meditating o these scriptures that you and your spouse are attending to all the roles in your lives properly. Join us tomorrow for day 21, God bless.
