This is a key concept for all the other principles that follow. If you were going to be a doctor, how would you prepare? You would LISTEN to the professor. You would spend time studying his or her  instructions about what was involved in the human body. I am amazed at how many times I ask people if they are having a daily quiet time with God and I usually get one of two answers:

A. “Yes, I pray.”(That’s talking not listening) or B. “Yes I know I should but just don’t do it all or the time.”

Psalm 37:4  “Delight yourself in the Lord and HE will give you the desires of your heart.” If the desire of your heart is to have a happy marriage, perhaps you need to delight yourself in the Lord. How do you do that?

Proverbs 3:5-6 says: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
