Faithfulness
Do not commit adultery. ~ Exodus 20:14 (CEB)
Marriage must be honored in every respect... ~ Hebrews 13:4a
Lord, thank you for faithful spouses who make life easier for everyone. Some of them have to work hard to stay faithful and we do not honor them enough. Help me to hold these faithful people in high esteem. They are heroes. I want to remain faithful and to be counted among them. And I am trusting that the Holy Spirit, living in me, will continue to empower me to be a faithful person. Amen.
