Monthly Devotional for a Great Marriage
March 2025
I heard a great story the other day about a father who comes home from a particularly grueling week at work with just one thought on his mind, peace and quiet. So he goes home, gets out the car quietly, enters the house, kicks off his shoes, and removes his jacket and tie. Next, he picks up the evening paper and heads for his chair and the blissful silence that awaits him in his refuge, his fortress of solitude called his office. Everyone knew that when dad went to his office he did not want to be disturbed. That is everyone except his youngest son. he heard dad come home and he has been waiting all day to see his father, so no office was goin to stand in his way. No sooner had dad sat in his chair and opened the paper the son popped his head under the paper and smiled. “Hi, Daddy, let’s play!” Being basically a good dad he didn’t want to yell at his son, but he still wanted his quiet time. So he thought quickly and remembered an article he had seen earlier about a photo of the earth taken from space and searched frantically for the photo. Once he found it, he grabbed his scissors and started cutting it into pieces making a puzzle. He gave his son the puzzle and scotch tape, “Here son, put this together.”
Proud of his fast thinking, he returned to his paper figuring he had bought himself at least an hour of peace, Maybe more. However, much to his surprise, less than ten minutes had passed when his son returned to the office with a big grin and a completed puzzle. In amazement the father asked, “How did you do that so quickly?” The boy replied, as he turned the picture around, “it was easy. You see, Dad, there is a picture of a man on the back and when you put the man together, you put the world together.”
Truer words were never spoken! When men are put together as God designed them to be, then the world gets put together. When you spend time getting it right with God, then it is much easier to train up a child in the way he should go (Proverbs 22:6), to love your wife like Christ loved the church (Ephesians 5:25), to deal with your wife in an understanding manner (1 Peter 3:7), to become the spiritual leader of your family.
Not only will a man who is put together be able to lead and direct his family, he will have an impact on the world around him, in his community, his work, his church. I am not letting wives off because it says in Genesis 2:18 that it is not good for man to be alone so I will make a helper suitable for him. That doesn’t say to nag him but to help him become the man of God he is supposed to be: because, when you put the man together, you put the world together.
