Keeping God at the Center

“You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you. You were on the holy mountain of God; you walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.” Ezekiel 28:14 (NKJV)

God has always been intentional about the middle ground. In Ezekiel, you see a powerful warning through the fall of Lucifer. He positioned himself in the midst, the middle place of worship, between the throne of God and the angels. That place was never meant for him. God removed him because the center belongs to God alone. The middle is sacred ground.

This truth carries directly into your marriage and your family. Whoever occupies the center shapes everything around it. When God is central, love has direction. When anything else moves into that place, pride, offense, or self, disorder soon follows. Scripture shows you a clear picture in Revelation. The Lamb is at the center, and worship surrounds Him. Heaven functions in harmony because God holds the middle. Marriage works the same way. It is not about you winning or your spouse winning. It is about God reigning. When you try to place yourself at the center, you drift apart. When both of you move toward God, something miraculous happens. You move closer to each other without even trying. Marriage is deeply spiritual. It reflects Christ and His church, not merely companionship or emotion.

Think of marriage as a triangle. You stand on one side. Your spouse stands on the other. God is at the top. The closer you draw to Him through prayer, obedience, and humility, the closer you become to one another. This is why personal devotion matters. When you seek God sincerely, unity becomes a byproduct, not a struggle. God is still looking for couples who will give Him the throne zone again. He is drawn to humility, mercy, and forgiveness. When you choose to reach instead of retreat, God sees the right spirit. When you refuse to let bitterness settle, you protect the middle ground. The enemy looks for division, but unity shuts the door in his face.

Love does not grow by accident. It grows by repeated choices to say, Lord, stay in the center of us. When God is in the middle, families are strengthened, purposes are fulfilled, and hearts are guarded. The middle place belongs to Him. Give it back.

Prayer: Lord, I give You the middle place in my marriage and my family. Take the central seat of my heart and my relationships. Remove pride, offense, and division, and replace them with mercy and humility. Help me reach when it is hard and love when it costs. Keep us united as we draw closer to You. Be glorified in our home. Amen.
