The Preparation: 7-Day Devotional for the Soon-to-Be WifeSample

## Flowers: Bouquet of God’s Faithfulness I am not one of those women who likes flowers. I’m more of a food person. I did, however, have a bouquet for my wedding though. Why? Because that’s just the tradition. I’m not quite sure of the story behind it, but everyone knows a bride has to have a bouquet of flowers as she walks down the aisle! Right? In today’s devotional, I want to hand you your beautiful bouquet of flowers. This symbolizes God’s faithfulness and care for you, His daughter. Luke 12:27-28 (NLT) reads, “Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?” When you hold your bouquet before you walk down the aisle, let this be a reminder of God’s faithfulness. Instead of worrying or being anxious about your future, put your faith and trust in God. You might not know what tomorrow, the next year, or ten years will hold, but you know Who holds you and your soon-to-be husband’s future. Because we know God’s track record for faithfulness, we can put our faith in Him. That’s definitely not a risky thing because He has kept you this far and He won’t leave you now. Even though you will be married and have a husband to look after you, you are still Daddy’s little girl and He will care for you both. There will be some sunny days and rainy days in your marriage. Just know, like flowers, you’ll need them both to grow. That’s what makes a marriage beautiful and full of splendor. Prayer Abba, Father. Thank You for Your continued faithfulness in my life. I give my fears and worries of my tomorrow to You. I trust You that You will take care of me and my future husband, even more so than the lilies of the field. We will lack no good thing. You are our Jehovah Jireh and we know that You will provide and sustain our lives despite what storms may come. In Jesus’ Name, Amen. \------ Was this Plan helpful?
