Choosing the right wife is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. Marriage can either be a blessing that draws you closer to Christ, or it can be a weight that pulls you away from your calling. When you are seeking God’s guidance in this area, one of the clearest ways he speaks is through the actions of the woman you’re considering.
In Genesis 24, Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac, and what unfolded was a clear picture of God’s providence orchestrating every detail. From this story, we can see at least five ways to let divine providence lead us to the right person at the right time.
Not every person in your life is meant to be in your inner circle. Some relationships are God-given assignments, others are distractions, and some are traps. As Christians, we are called to love others, but we are not called to give unlimited access to people who pull us away from God’s will.
Satan hates when marriages are formed because God uses marriage to bring glory to himself. One of Satan’s most effective ways of hindering Christian singles from getting married is through tempting them to do things that will stop them from rightly identifying the person God has for them.
Before God gave Adam a wife, he first gave Adam everything else he needed to be the kind of man who could receive her. Genesis 2 doesn’t just tell the story of creation—it gives us a blueprint for manhood before marriage.
For Christian singles, few questions weigh heavier than this: Was meeting this person God’s doing—or just a random twist of life? In moments like these, it’s easy to overthink every word, every glance, and every circumstance. But not every meeting is a divine encounter pointing toward your future spouse.
In Scripture, betrayal is not only a recurring theme but often something God warns his people about ahead of time. If you are walking closely with God and paying attention to the subtle leading of the Holy Spirit, he may begin to show you signs that someone in your life is not as loyal as they seem.
If you are a Christian single person who wants to be married one day, are you doing something wrong? Why is it taking so long to meet “the one” God has for you? Past sins? Passivity? Trying too hard?
Not every woman who enters your life is sent by God. Some are sent as distractions, tests, or even traps by the devil. Just as Satan disguised himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14-15), he can send people into your life who appear godly on the surface but are secretly working against the will of God.
