MAXIMIZE YOUR SINGLEHOOD.

MAXIMIZE YOUR SINGLEHOOD

1 Corinthians 7:32-35

[32]My desire is to have you free from all anxiety and distressing care. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord–how he may please the Lord;

[33]But the married man is anxious about worldly matters–how he may please his wife–

[34]And he is drawn in diverging directions [his interests are divided and he is distracted from his devotion to God]. And the unmarried woman or girl is concerned and anxious about the matters of the Lord, how to be wholly separated and set apart in body and spirit; but the married woman has her cares [centered] in earthly affairs–how she may please her husband.

[35]Now I say this for your own welfare and profit, not to put [a halter of] restraint upon you, but to promote what is seemly and in good order and to secure your undistracted and undivided devotion to the Lord.

The Bible gives us a clear difference between the responsibility of the unmarried and married. The unmarried is to care for the things of the Lord-- how they may please God while still single, pleasing God in this sense doesn't you're striving to make God accept you, No. You're already accepted in the beloved, Glory to God!

But rather what is means for you to please God is doing those things that pleases and satisfies Him.

There's no way a man given to the things that pleases the Lord will find himself doing or engaging in things that displeases Him.

As a single, your first and foremost responsibility is to God- how that you may be pleasing and holy, consecrated and set apart unto the Lord both in body and in spirit.

Your energy, commitment and strength is to be channeled to the things of the Lord

Nowadays, we find so many singles giving their strength to the things of the world instead to the Lord and then you find married men and women caring for the things of the Lord.

May we not misplace our priority.

I hope this blesses you
