In my devotion, we’re studying Revelation. Today was Revelation 19:1-10. I’ve always known we are the bride of Christ, but I want to break this down even further as we deal with singleness and preparing for marriage. It’s story time!

Why do things God’s way anyway? What do we get out of it? Not only are we blessed, but His word is our blueprint. There’s no blueprint for the world. What good comes out of following the crowd? Listen how God brought this concept to my mind this week.

Today’s song, Pretty Ricky’s “Make it Like it Was.” Yes, I used to listen to them growing up, until I started paying attention to the lyrics. This song is a prime example of what happens in relationships. Everything but commitment. Some of us settle for what we can get just so we can have something. We go back, but do we really want it the way it used to be?

Remember the movie The Back Up Plan with Jennifer Lopez? What about her song that went with the movie “What is Love?” Do you have a back up plan “just in case” God doesn’t come through? What if you don’t get married? What if you never have kids? Do you go your own way? Will you still love God even if He doesn’t give you what you want? Hard questions, but I pray you’re encouraged to trust God and His timing.

Today is sister to sister talk. What’s interesting is I listened to a sermon that pretty much touched on this subject and more. Distraction or destiny? Not all distractions are necessarily bad, but is it helping you towards your purpose? Pastor Michael Todd “There’s No Condom for Your Heart” https://youtu.be/-UzJtFRnhr0

I loved R&B growing up and one song, Vivian Green’s “Emotional Rollercoaster” came to mind. We have the freedom to do what we want but are we free if we keep going back to our old ways? No. We’re still slaves.
