May our loving, gracious God and Father bestow His richest blessing on you in your new, divinely appointed relationship. I trust it is of the Lord, as it is in the Lord. You certainly can walk happily together, being of one mind, so "that your prayers be not hindered." You have everything to thank and praise God for in this. A household where the Lord has His rightful place is blessed indeed. Nothing attainable here can exceed it for real abiding good; for "The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it" (Prov. 10:2222The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. (Proverbs 10:22)).
With the Lord "at hand" to help us at every turn, what have we to fear? "If God be for us, who can be against us" (Romans 8:3131What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31))? What strength is ours! So too, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him" (James 1:55If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (James 1:5)).
When we recount our mercies, we find them more than the hairs of our heads, and can sing-
"When all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise."
To begin your married life together, with divine intelligence through grace, is blessed indeed and hopeful. The trials of the wilderness will be tasted but only and all for highest good and blessing. Only give the Lord the first place, His rightful place, doing all heartily as to Him, and all must be well.
We wait His coming—that blessed hope. It cannot be long, and then forever with the Lord!
