Day 3: Go and Multiply
MAIN SCRIPTURE: Genesis 1:28 (NKJV) 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
DEVOTIONAL:
In the beginning, when the world was freshly crafted and the melody of creation still echoed in the skies, God granted humanity a divine command and blessing: "Be fruitful and multiply".
Marriage, in its original design, is a union blessed with the potential to create, nurture, and cultivate life. It's a partnership where two souls come together to form something beautiful and new. Just as God breathed life into the world, married couples are encouraged to 'go and multiply', fostering love, wisdom, and grace in their families.
The original design for marriage is a testament to God's infinite wisdom. It's a call to married couples to not just exist together but to thrive and multiply in every aspect of their union. It's about creating a space where God's love is multiplied and shared, where faith is nurtured, and where the echoes of divine love are felt in every interaction.
PRAYER:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the gift of marriage and the divine calling to go and multiply. Guide us in our relationships to mirror Your love, wisdom, and creativity. Bless our unions so that they may be fruitful in faith, love, and grace. May our homes be sanctuaries of Your presence, and may our lives be a testament to Your original design for marriage. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
