Fantasy in marriage has it's place - for each other. When it comes to directing your mind to another place - there isn't a place for that. Even if you are unmarried, you have to be careful. Fantasy gives you a mentally good feeling, sometimes streaming to the physical. We all like good feelings, so fantasy has an allurement that can become dangerous. As we looked yesterday, at a scene from Fireproof, we saw how the start of a fantasy can begin...a compliment in amidst a damaged marriage.
As we reflect back on that lesson, here are some applications to choose from this week...
- Focus on your God - We serve Him first and foremost. Are thoughts taking you away from your quest to serve Him? Whatever you do in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord - Colossians 3:17
- Focus on your marriage - is it good, keep it that way - is it rocky, remember you committed to your partner! Regardless of how you would label your marriage, don't let your thoughts/actions take you somewhere else. Take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ - II Corinthians 10:5b
- Focus on yourself - Be aware of your weaknesses. Be aware of your temptations. Be aware of what's out there. Turn from things, literally, that have the potential to harm you.
- Stay Focused! - Keep your body pure, for your mate or your future mate. Be aware that the actions you do now will affect the person you are with and committed to.
It is vital to keep your marriage fireproof, for the health and longevity of your marriage! Marriage takes effort, and creating a fireproof marriage is part of the 100% effort that we all must put in!
If you're involved with a "fire" find someone to help you put the fire out, before it is too late!
Committed...
