Men Often Rush Marriage - Day 145

Men Often Rush Marriage

Day 145

Men are more likely than women to jump into a new relationship prematurely. Women often already have a network of relationships to support them in times of grieving, whereas a man’s only close relationship was with his wife.

Jim Grassi, internationally known outdoorsman, recommends that men take time together away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend time studying God’s Word and sharing with one another in God’s great outdoors.

He says, “Jesus was a practical, real guy, and He dealt with real guys. He asked them to put down their musty nets and go out and fish for men instead of fishing for fish. He had those quiet times with the guys, and He took them to places that were different. He took them out of Capernaum and put them into other settings where He could have that time.  In His own life when He went out in the wilderness for forty days, He went to a different place than He was used to so that He could listen to God.”

Follow Christ’s example for your life and put down your own musty nets of thoughts and emotions. Call a friend or a group of friends and make plans to go camping, fishing, or hiking in God’s creation. And when you get there, read God’s Word together and listen and share.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge (Psalm 19:1-2).

Jesus, show me how I can get away from the busyness of my daily life and find a place to meet with You. Amen.
