30-Day Devotional for your Incarcerated Husband

The marriage relationship stretches beyond the prison walls, fences, and razor wire, and the reality is that incarceration brings wholly different circumstances and struggles to the marriage covenant. A 30-Day Devotional for your Incarcerated Husband applies biblical principles to many of these unique issues faced by the husband and wife during incarceration. This devotion has the primary purpose of encouraging and empowering husbands to flourish in holy union with their wife in spite of these challenges.

REMAIN FAITHFUL BECAUSE GOD IS FAITHFUL
In the same way, our marriage covenant is just as important. Made before God. How dare we (God's chosen possession 1 Pet 2:9), betray our marriage covenant! God is faithful and will lay waste our marriage if we, like Judah, forsake our covenant and chase after idols to serve them. Idols could be money, pleasure, drugs, prestige, etc... God has richly blessed us with marriage, a loving relationship to a woman who has said, "even in your chains I love you and stand by you." You are blessed beyond measure, so take your marriage covenant seriously. Protect it. Guard it. Most of all stay faithful to your marriage covenant. pg.113

SHE IS GOD'S BLESSING
You might feel down on yourself today, upset because you are locked up and can't provide for your wife. Life surely is not easy, but you can take comfort in knowing God's favor is on your life. God has given you a wife even in your poverty. When all the world seems to be against you, you have found favor. So, pick your head up, turn that frown into a smile, because the Almighty God has shined upon you. He has given you grace, a golden light shining into your darkened prison cell. Your wife is God's blessing in your life. Remember that as you move forward. Be thankful to God for your blessing. Tell your wife she is God's blessing and proof you have found favor before God.
