Are You Open to God’s Leading in Your Marriage?

Doing the rerun series on busyness has been an insightful experience for me. It originally ran fourteen years ago, and I can see how I was sharing something God was doing with me at the time. I added the margin tag a month after I wrote the series, a result of reading Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, and Time Reserves to Overloaded Lives. Shortly after that, I did a series on margin. I also started thinking and praying about the idea of a day of rest at this time, first blogging about it two months after this series ran.

I didn’t see it at the time, but looking back, it’s clear God was working on me to move me to a healthier lifestyle. The fallout from that has made my marriage and other relationships so much better. It also made much of what was to come much easier. I didn’t know what the next decade held, but God did, and He was preparing me for those things.

God works in our lives. And when we choose to follow His leading, the results can be amazing. Thing is, it’s not usually a lightning strike and booming voice from heaven. It’s been said the Holy Spirit is a gentleman. It’s easy to miss what God is doing, especially when we’re too busy. Are you open to the gentle leading of the Holy Spirit? Do you have prayer times that allow you to be directed? Nothing else will make as much of an impact on your life and your marriage.
