Adam was ready to pop the question. He was in love and very nervous. Parents approved, pastors had prayed, while friends agreed “Rochelle and Adam were meant for each other. As Adam sat alone at the café, he thought back to the day they first met…He seemed to know from the moment on that she was the right girl for him. He had prayed for a godly woman. He thought God had answered his prayer. This did seem to be the right time, but he still had questions…all he knew to do was turn back to God in prayer. “Oh Lord, this is such a big decision. Thank You fro bringing Rochelle into my life. Let me know for sure this is the right thing to do, so I will never doubt her or you in the future.” Adam quietly opened his eyes after praying. As he lifted his cup to drink, he saw two overlapping rings on the table made by the bottom of his teacup. In his heart he felt God has given him a sign of reassurance through the interlocking rings that symbolized the unity of love in marriage. Later that night at an elegant restaurant, Adam hinted about someday sharing the same china patterns on their dishes. Rochelle then lifted her tea bag from her cup only to discover a diamond engagement ring. Adam received all the confirmation he needed when Rochelle accepted his proposal.

God created marriage as a reflection of His love for us. The Bible tells us that Christ is the bridegroom and the church as His bride. God has already invited us to be joined with Him in fellowship forever. All we have to do is accept His proposal is say, “Yes, Lord…I do…”

Lord, keep me still in your peace, string in your faith and overflowing with your love. Make my paths straight and make my footsteps firm. Grant me wisdom with every decision I need to make in life as I look to you and your plan for me.
