As we close this year, remember that God’s plan for your life is never vague. He declares, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11). Marriage is one of the most critical junctions in fulfilling those thoughts. Proverbs 19:21 reminds us, “There are many devices in a man’s heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand.” Your ideas, emotions, and preferences may be many, but it is only God’s counsel that guarantees peace and fulfilment in marriage. Ending the year well means resolving in your heart to let God, not flesh, define your choice and sustain your union.
Looking back, some may see mistakes, wrong turns, or even regrets in relationships. Yet, God is merciful and able to realign your life. A wrong marriage can slow destiny, but sincere repentance and consecration can still bring restoration. What matters now is surrender: choosing to submit your heart afresh to God’s will and refusing to carry old errors into a new year. Don’t idolise your desires or bow to family pressure; those things may give temporary satisfaction but cannot preserve destiny.
Only heaven’s counsel can secure a marriage that becomes a fortress for your calling and a legacy for your children.
As you step into a new year, commit yourself to accuracy in marriage. Singles must resolve to wait on God for His choice, not man’s substitute. Married couples must choose to align their homes with divine purpose, fighting for agreement and raising a godly seed. Let this year end with your heart fully surrendered to God’s standard. Marriage is too weighty to gamble with, but when it is aligned with destiny, it becomes a fountain of strength and joy. May the coming year find you walking in His counsel, building a marriage that serves His eternal programme.
THOUGHT TO PONDER: Am I closing this year fully surrendered to God’s counsel in marriage? Will I let His plan define my choices as I step into the new year?
PRAYER: Lord, as this year ends, align my marriage and choices with Your counsel. Let the coming year advance my destiny, not hinder it.
