This man in this video has it right; do not be afraid to ask directions.
Did you ever wonder why the angel in Matthew 28:5 appeared to women first? Well here's what I think. Most men hate to ask directions, and most women like to gossip. I mean, that’s the way I usually see it.
Let me tell you what happened to me at work: I am a concierge, and I meet and greet people. A gentleman came in, and I said, “Can I help you?"
He said, “No thank you.”
Well he walked by me two times, then finally asked where the bathrooms were.
Then, in our break-room at work, the guys are usually watching TV, and the girls are usually the ones talking on about things. Seems true, doesn't it?
I think the angel appeared to the women first, because He knew that the news of our risen Lord would travel fast. Seems like it's mainly women leading their kids to church anyway, I could be wrong, but that’s just how I see it.
God's word in Ephesians 5:22-33, talks about how the women are to submit to their husbands, and how the husband should love their wives. Satan's attack on relationships are happening more and more; he knows how to get to the families - by attacking the men. The more women I talk to, the more they talk about feeling alone in their marriages; not feeling appreciated, loved unconditionally, or even getting a compliment once in a while. It is hard to submit when you are not being loved like Gods word says you should be. Believe me, I sympathize with you.
Relationships start to weaken when we don’t follow Gods direction. Love is written about in the book called Song of Songs, its so beautiful. The love spoken in this book is precious, even from chapter one. If you’re one of those women who are single or feel unloved, or unappreciated in a relationship, I want to tell you to RUN! Instead, maybe you should pray.
How many times will your heart be broken? We can pick what we want, or have what God wants to give us. You'll know a man who's after God's heart, if you are a women after Gods heart. My sister could testify to this truth. She picked what she wanted in two marriages. After MUCH prayer, she is now in her third marriage to a man of God, and happier that I have ever seen her in my life. The outward appearance is what attracts us, but Jesus says real beauty is on the inside. Don’t be fooled. Like in Matthew 7:15-16 - beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. How's the old saying go? “You've had the rest, now try the best.”
So pray, trust, and wait.
Everyone today has a GPS for directions to someplace. God’s word gives you all the direction you need for EVERYTHING in your life! He will not lead you wrong. We lead ourselves in the wrong directions. Follow God's lead, not your own.
God’s grace and peace
