Michael W. Smith On God Sending Him Love In An Unlikely Place
Smith met his now wife, Debbie, in 1981. He had just signed a recording contract and was in the studio making music almost every single day. Even though he hoped to meet someone and marry one day, dating was not something that was on his mind at this busy point in his life. He even remembers thinking, “I’m in the studio 14 hours a day and I’m writing songs. At some point, I’ll get married.” But the moment he saw Debbie, everything he thought he knew completely changed.
“She walked by me at a record company and I knew at that very very moment that that was the girl that I was going to spend the rest of my entire life with.”
Ultimately, they were married after just six months and Smith knows that God put Debbie in his life at exactly the right time. After they married, the couple wanted to start a family, but they struggled to conceive. That’s when they decided to hand it over to God and asked the church to pray for them.
God delivered in a big way and now, Michael and Debbie have 5 beautiful children together. He even joked that he asked the church to remove them from the prayer list after the birth of their fifth child. This is such an incredible testimony of trusting in God in all things.

Today's Devotional
A Prayer for Victory over Sinful Thoughts - Your Daily Prayer - July 26
Victory over sinful thoughts starts with dependence upon God to stay free from enslaving sin. It’s a life lived with a surrendered mouth and heart before God. Winning requires us to remember our Rock, who rescues us and gives us a firm standing place, and our Redeemer, who rescues us from total loss.
