Marriage works best when it follows God's kingdom blueprint rather than personal opinions or examples that don't align with His instructions. Scripture shows that God sometimes allowed imperfect practices due to human ignorance or hardened hearts, but His true design for marriage is now clearly revealed. In God's kingdom, marriage is a lifelong, permanent union between one man and one woman, built on divine order and responsibility. Husbands are submitted to Christ and lead through sacrificial love and service, while wives are called to submit to and respect their husbands. Both spouses are responsible for intentionally serving one another's needs and desires, creating mutual care and unity. Sexual intimacy is meant to be frequent, mutually enjoyable, and protected within marriage. When couples follow these principles faithfully and unconditionally, God's design produces peace, clarity, and a healthy, thriving marriage.

Faith requires belief without doubt and the ability to see God's promises before they manifest. Jesus teaches that when we speak in faith and truly believe in our hearts, we can receive what we ask for, but doubt blocks that process. Abraham is the example of this principle: despite impossible natural circumstances, he stayed strong in faith by calling himself what God promised he would be and visualizing the outcome. In the same way, we must speak, believe, and visualize what God has placed in our hearts, refusing to be moved by present conditions. By staying fully persuaded that God is able to perform what He promised, we position ourselves to receive what He has already spoken over our lives.

Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6:25–34 is a direct call to release worry and embrace faith. He reminds us that life is bigger than the daily concerns we obsess over and shows through the birds and flowers that God provides effortlessly for His creation—how much more for us. Worry, Jesus says, has no value and reveals a lack of faith, especially as we navigate the pressures of business, ministry, and personal responsibility. Instead of striving like unbelievers who chase after their own provision, we're commanded to seek God's kingdom and His way of doing things, trusting that He already knows what we need and will either guide our actions or handle the situation Himself. Living worry-free becomes a practical expression of faith—focusing on today, resting in God's care, and refusing to be stressed about tomorrow.

This year, many of us believed boldly for specific things, yet some of those desires didn't happen. As I reflected on my own unmet expectations, God led me to a simple but powerful thought: ask Him why. Matthew 7:7–11 reminds us that God gives good gifts to His children—not just material blessings, but also wisdom, insight, and understanding. So it's not a lack of faith to ask God why something didn't happen. In fact, knowing why is itself a good gift. As we close out this year, I encourage you to take time with God and ask Him why certain things you believed for didn't unfold. Stay with that question until your spirit is open enough to receive His answer. Because once you understand the why, you'll be positioned to step into a stronger year ahead.

Before sin entered the world, husband and wife functioned as one unified being—Adam and "female Adam"—with no dynamic of control or dominance. Adam didn't stop his wife from eating the fruit not because he failed as a controller, but because control wasn't part of God's original design. After the fall, blame entered and the curse distorted marriage: the wife would desire to control, and the husband would rule over her. This struggle for dominance is the broken, cursed version of marriage we still see today. God never rebuked Adam for not controlling his wife—He held each person accountable for their own actions. True, godly leadership is not control but shepherding, serving, and guiding, and true submission is voluntary, not coerced. To build marriages God's way, couples must move away from the curse-driven fight for control and return to God's original design of unity, mutual service, and oneness.

Paul's interaction with the believers in Corinth (2 Corinthians 1:12-24 NLT) shows that even sincere, godly people sometimes need to change their plans. He reassures them that his motives were pure, his conscience clear, and his communication honest, even though he had to disappoint them by not returning as promised. This scenario in scripture reveals an important truth for entrepreneurs and ministry leaders: making promises with good intentions is right, but when circumstances shift, it may be necessary to "unmake" a promise with humility and clarity. Changing direction doesn't mean being unreliable—it means stewarding responsibility well, communicating honestly, and trusting that others will understand as you make decisions aligned with what's best for them and for your calling.

Most of us are in a rush for success in our entrepreneurial calling. However, God may take you the long way to success instead of the quick path because there are things you need to learn before you get to success. If you go too fast, you won't have the skill and character to maintain your success.

Each day of our life, seeds are being intentionally and unintentionally sown into our hearts which either produce the fruit of faith, or fear. This is important because the results you experience in your life are based on faith or fear. Faith that is acted on produces success; and fear creates inaction, which produces failure. Thus, most of us are experiencing wild swings in emotions, various degrees of success, and frequent periods of failure. If we want to get off this roller-coaster ride, then we have to control the seeds we allow into our hearts. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn more about this concept and discover how to control it for sustainable success.

Deep down most people wish they were more intelligent, experienced, and skilled in a particular area because these attributes are equated with being successful. However, the truth is that these attributes of apparent strength are in most cases disregarded by God. Instead, He uses your weaknesses to make you extremely successful.
