Best Marriage Ever Devotional 15

GENESIS 12:2 | 2 I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

Abraham and Sarah were God’s choice to start a new nation and begin a new chapter in His relationships with the world. Their assignment? Move to a new land and found a new family that would become a new nation, trusting that God could overcome their infertility and give them a child, long after age had killed their hope.

Again, their story emphasized the importance of marriage and family—when God decided to reveal Himself to humankind He began with one couple. Abraham and Sarah, past retirement age, had to embrace a new spiritual adventure.

Do you see your life as a spiritual adventure?

If so, what kind of adventure is it?
