Many of God’s children desire a good relationship. God desires for you to have a godly partner, a godly soulmate, a godly companion, and a godly marriage. You will watch friends get engaged, plan weddings, and walk down the aisle, all while you feel as though you’re sitting on the sidelines waiting to get into the game. “Where is my godly partner?” you may ask. Everything is not for everybody, and not all things unfold the same way for each person.
If you’re trusting God for your godly companion, remember that God operates in seasons. Someone else’s season for marriage may not be your season for marriage.
We must understand that God’s plan for your testimony is specific to the purpose He has designed for your life. If you are not married yet, here are a few things I recommend you do:
First, continue to pray for yourself, where you are spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. Pray for your potential spouse as well, covering them with the Word and with the protection of the Lord.
Second, pray for your own spiritual growth and for your potential spouse’s continued development, so that both of you can complete the single season God has assigned.
Third, understand that God will sometimes take you through a season of preparation before He sends your spouse. In this season, He may lead you to make changes, let go of certain habits, mindsets, or relationships, and work on areas such as self-discipline, selfishness, or self-centeredness. This isn’t punishment, it’s refinement. God prepares His children so they can give love well, receive love well, and steward the blessing of marriage in a healthy, godly way.
Here is the reality: God is still moving and working on your behalf. This simply may not be the right timing or season for the relationship He has for you. This is where you stand firm in faith, trusting that God’s plan for you is intentional. He intends to bring you into the Promised Land of Marriage. Just as He did not allow the children of Israel to enter the Promised Land until the conditions were right to enter and possess it, the same is true for you. The conditions of your next God-given relationship must align with His will. Your faith, character, obedience, patience, contentment, and prayer life all need to be positioned in a way that honors God and gives Him glory.
Trust and be assured that God has a Promised Land experience for all His children. Believe in faith that your spouse is on the way, in perfect timing and perfect peace. Continue to be content whether you currently have a relationship or not. Continue to:“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart.” Psalm 37:4
