A Covenant With My Eyes – Today’s Marriage Prayer
Join Our Current Bible Study
Ruth: Echoes of Christ, Our Kinsman Redeemer
Over the course of four weeks beginning Tuesday, February 20th, join me as we explore the profound significance of the unknown kinsman, uncover the rich symbolism of his shoe, and connect the dots to the Ten Commandments.
We’ll look back at the lives of Biblical characters like Lot, Perez, Judah, and Tamar, seeking to understand their roles in God’s story. Questions like ‘Where does Naomi fit into all this?’ and ‘Why is the timing of these events so crucial?’ will guide our exploration, as we uncover the beauty and depth of these Biblical narratives.
Karissa is also back to bless us each week with her insightful videos. If you would like more information on our study, visit our website.
For those who’d like a copy, “Ruth: Echoes of Christ, Our Kinsman Redeemer” is available on Amazon.com.
A Covenant With My Eyes –
Today’s Marriage Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,
You have graciously given us this beautiful gift of marriage, the incredible gift of a partner and friend, and the most intimate gift of a lover.
We want to protect these gifts, Lord. Help us to honor our marriage bed — to keep it holy. Protect our friendship and keep our relationship safe from temptation.
Job once said, “I made a covenant with my eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?” He understood the power of sexual temptation, and he was fiercely and persistently protecting his heart. May we make that same pledge when it comes to our own eyes.
Let us make a covenant with You today, that we will turn our eyes away from sexual temptation. And that we will step away from relationships, both emotional and physical the moment they threaten our marriage.
In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Today’s Bible Verse
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: but every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Do not err, my beloved brethren. – James 1:12-16, KJV

Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. – James 1:12-16, NIV
