 Can God's blessing be a disapointment?

Have you ever heard of a situation where God led a man to be with a woman he has absolutely no interest, attraction, or care for? (In 2009 America)

Where would this voice be coming from? =)

 Re: Would God lead a man to marry a woman he didn't care for?

Santana, do you mind sharing why you are asking this question. Is it an issue in your life right now? Are you wondering how to discern God's will in your situation?

 Re:

I actually sent you an email but I'm banging my head against the wall thinking about the worst right now. Can God's choice/decision/blessing be a disapointment?

Hi brother,

Have you listened to Keith Daniel's table talk discussion with young people:
https://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=17989&commentView=itemComments

I thought it contained some very helpful advice for young people in the area of courtship and marriage.

If I remember correctly, this is the way that Art Katz felt about his wife Inger before he married her. It was in his book Ben Israel. For him, it was a matter of doing the right thing before God - or rather, that which the Lord would have him to do.

I am certain many a disappointment has turned into a blessing. Could it be your perspective that is turned around?

Go slow, wait and see what comes.

Kind regards,

Brother,

First off bro, stop listening to voices in your head.

Secondly,

God gives you the desires of you heart. I say this emphatically, God would not lead you to marry a woman that you do not desire to be with.

If you don't mind I am going to pm you and share with you my own story of how I met my wife....

 Re:

Santana... were you not on here a couple weeks ago asking our advice about whether or not to marry a certain girl? If that was you, and you're now asking this question... my advice to you is [b]stop[/b]. Save this girl a lot of grief and dont marry her. There is no rush. You might know later on you are to marry her... but if getting married causes so much chaos in your soul, then dont do it.

Whats the worst that can happen if you dont get married right now? You pay more taxes?

Save this girl a lot of potential heartache and put getting married on the back burner. Devote yourself and your time study and prayer. Go on a missions trip. Scoop out soup at soup line somewhere.

But dont get married if you're this conflicted in your soul.

I will not advise anyone on this forum to get married, but I will certainly advise against it if it seems prudent to do so.

On the last thread you started about this someone came on and told you to just charge right into getting married... ignore the advise you were getting... and "trust God". Well, I told you just the opposite then, and I am saying it again, my brother. I do agree with the "trust God" part, but what this other dude was telling you to do was "trust your heart", not God. And the heart is desperately wicked.

Trust the Lord by waiting on Him to give you peace about this, one way or another.

 Re: Can God's blessing be a disapointment?

I'm with those who caution you against moving forward with this relationship. I strongly advise PRUDENCE. My counsel, based upon God's Word:

Exercise prudence:

"I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion." Proverbs 8:12

God's word tells us that wisdom dwells with prudence; they are interrelated:

Prudence: 1.the ability to govern and discipline oneself by the use of reason; 2.caution or circumspection as to danger or risk

This verse shows us that wisdom finds (inferring a search) both knowledge and discretion. You will be given a generous portion of wisdom if you request it of God in faith with right motives.

Wisdom: SOPHIA: insight into the true nature of things

Pray for wisdom, Brother, and do it in faith. (James 1:5-6) Also, read James 3:13-18.
God's Word is truth. Keep searching the Scriptures. Test every spirit and every voice in the light of God's Word. I will pray for you.
