A Covenant Designed For Worship

March 24, 2012, before a host of family and friends, a union was formed

Gen. 2:18, 21-24
    The Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him'...and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh. Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, 'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man.' For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
    They not only made a declaration of their love But they committed to a marriage-lifestyle of worship before God That God is the center of their unification And HE is the center of their Love Song And because of their love for Christ And because they worship HIM sincerely With clean hands and a pure heart GOD made their union: One of purity One of worship One of covenant Their thought wasn't on the center of it being "Their Day" But a day where God will be magnified and glorified through "Their Covenant" with God and to their Better Half The wedding of Nikeya Massenburg to Jarel Brown is one I will never forget. It was purely about God receiving the worship. How can you ask God to come in like they did and HE not showed up. What amazed me was the song selections. Strictly worship, reverencing God to the fullest. And because of the reverence they showed God, their marriage GLOWED.
