Abandoning the gathering of the brethren because of offences never guarantees you a better life in the world. In fact, doing that will end you in more chaos than you ever think. Remain in Christ despite life crises because your life is anchored in God.
When you start teaching your partner the ways of God starting from your relationship, you build her up spiritually, create an avenue for your personal spiritual growth (because you’ll study what you’ll teach her), and also prove to God that you can steward His heritage, the children (Psalm 127:3.)
Cut back your spending and excessive sleep periods to work and follow God’s vision upon your life. The blessing of restlessness, because of productive work will be released by God upon your life.

When Dinah went out of her father’s household to visit the Shechemite women in Genesis 34 but eventually got raped, it was a picture God is using to teach us Christians not to go outside the Church to make “close and intimate friends.” That isn’t just a limitation.

Sometimes, God intentionally allows godless people near us to prosper so that they’ll leave our lives for us to remain concentrated on Him. Don’t be deceived. Not everything that glitters is gold. Stop envying a financially prosperous but worldly friend. Stop comparing your life to his. Instead, focus on following God.
Your leaders in Christ watch over your souls. When you follow them closely by emulating their ways that glorifies Christ, you’ll keep them from being grieved for discipling you and also protect yourself from making mistakes because of disobedience.

Though the prodigal son messed up, he came back to his senses. Could it be you’re so busy with life that you’re missing out on paying attention to some wrong things you’re doing that ought to be changed? Analyse your life in the light of God’s Word, and apply spiritual changes to some things you’re doing that are wrong.
