The unity in the family matters a lot. The oneness and one accord among husband and wife , parents and children , brothers and sisters maters a lot. Squabbling with husband for things of little importance ( petty squabbles ) might not be much focus points in daily day to matter . These petty squabbles are like small little irritations which when not focused and addressed try to eat away the healthy relationships in a family.
If you deeply notice , always picking up on your spouse for small little things takes away the peace between relationships and takes joy out of that particular moment. We as believers need to be people walking with rivers of living waters overflowing, this river of living water offers joy, peace , health , success , tranquility etc. But the petty squabbles are the ones that try to hinder and block the good lovable things that God has set apart for us to enjoy. Devil is always watching out to cause trouble not by creating huge war between spouses and family members but by petty squabbles. He doesn’t like family to build their kingdom on joy and love and peace but rather wants to see them fall apart. If he can get into a relationship through these petty squabbles then he has made entry into their lives . These petty squabbles are like tiny nuisance creating pests that might not seem to bother you or your house at the first place but sure they are causing corruption in the construction. You will have to put a stop these little nuisance pests like petty squabbles and turn around every inch to Jesus . Always walk in Love and allow the living waters to flow through easily through you unto your relationships. We as believers have built our house and our family on the rock who is Jesus . Your family is your kingdom . Stand strong and give no place to the enemy through your own foolish acts. Always choose to walk in unity with your family. Remember your fight is not against flesh and blood , your fight is not against your spouse and family, your fight is against the enemy who comes as a thief to destroy every little enjoyment of your life.
Let not the petty squabbles spoil your beautiful love in your family relationship! Stay away from these and enjoy every moment of your life!!
Prayer
Father in Jesus name – help to stay away from these petty squabbles that ruin my lovely time with my family in Jesus name amen.
Bible Reference
“Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking. So he said to them, “Every kingdom that is fighting against itself will be destroyed. And every city that is divided will fall. And every family that is divided cannot succeed.”
Matthew 12:25 ICB
“My true brothers and sisters and mother are those who do the things that my Father in heaven wants.””
Matthew 12:50 ICB
Jesus knew what the Pharisees were thinking, so he said to them, “Every kingdom that is ·divided against [at war with] itself ·will be destroyed [is doomed/headed for ruin]. And any city or ·family [Lhouse] that is ·divided against [at war with] itself will not ·continue [survive; stand].
“Jesus confronted their slander. “A judge who gives opposite verdicts on the same person cancels himself out; a family that’s in a constant squabble disintegrates; if Satan banishes Satan, is there any Satan left? If you’re slinging devil mud at me, calling me a devil kicking out devils, doesn’t the same mud stick to your own exorcists?”
Matthew 12:25-27 MSG
