Day 75 — Marriage Devotional
The House That Stood
“And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”
Matthew 7:25
We've reached the end of Block 5. Fifteen days looking at the storms — not to fear them, but to know that they don't get the last word.
The image in Matthew 7 is powerful: the rain fell, the floods rose, the winds blew. Everything beat against the house. But it did not fall. Not because there was no storm — but because it was founded in the right place.
Your marriage will go through difficult seasons. It already has, and it will again. But if you are built on the Word of God, on prayer, on the choice to stay — the house will stand.
This isn't naivety. It's faith. It's the faith of those who have already gone through hardship and chose to stay. And discovered that God is faithful enough to sustain what seemed impossible to sustain.
You are still standing. Your marriage is still standing. That alone is proof that the foundation works.
Prayer
Lord, thank You for sustaining our marriage through the storms. Every time we go through something hard and remain standing, it is by Your grace. May we never stop building on the rock that You are. Amen.
