I have come to realize that choosing a spouse is not as spookyas some people make it to feel. If you can just follow God all through, the journey will be less complicated.

Also, I have realized that more often than not, your spouse is very much around you. Godis not just about to create your spouse. You just need to be discerning to know where he or she is.

Ex 32:1(KJV) And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.

After Moses had gone for a long while, the children of Israel became impatient and demanded a god. Where would they get the raw materials to fabricate a god? Remember, they were in the wilderness.

See what Aaron said.

Ex 32:2-4 (KJV) And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

Aaron made the golden calf with the earrings he found around him.

Who would have thought something good could come out of those earrings?

I mean, they wear these earrings every day. They see it every day. They use it every day.  It was looking too common in their eyes, so they couldn’t see the golden calf in it.

And that is how this marriage thing is. You are probably seeing your spouse every day. You are probably interacting with your spouse every other day. The issue is that you may not know. It took Aaron, the priest, to see that something good could come out of the earrings. Likewise, it will take a priest to see if something worthwhile will come out of that lady or gentleman lurking around you.

However, as believers, we don’t need any Aaron. You are the Priest and Prophet over your life.

You are the one who will look beyond the physical and go for what you want.

You are the one who will cry to God to open your eyes that you may see what others are not seeing in that person.

Everyone saw a woman with five husbands, but Jesus saw an evangelist.

Everyone saw gold earrings, but Aaron saw a golden calf.

Everyone saw something whitish, but Moses saw food for the Israelites.

May God open your eyes!
