Description:
It's important that we understand God's amazing single design regarding our blessed singleness. We love to crack jokes about love and talk about it. Marriage has sometimes been a pursuit in life, but it is not just a means to an end in this single life. We cannot get too caught up in Marriage. Yes, it is important but there are also other concerns we need to deal with ourselves. That's why it's important for us to establish a good foundation first regarding our singleness. Being single happens only once whether it's just a permanent or temporary state. It happens very fast and it happens to be a gift as well. Singleness is a Blessing. For the majority, they will get married and it's important to prepare for the journey towards that chapter. But for certain individuals God might have really blessed them to remain single

2 But because of immoralities, each man is to

have his own wife, and each woman is to have her

own husband. 3 The husband must fulfill his duty

to his wife, and likewise also the wife to her

husband. 4 The wife does not have authority over

her own body, but the husband does; and likewise

also the husband does not have authority over his

own body, but the wife does.

27 Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be released. Are you released from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28 But if you marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. Yet such will have trouble in this life, and I am trying to spare you.

29 But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none; 30 and those who weep, as though they did not weep; and those who rejoice, as though they did not rejoice; and those who buy, as though they did not possess; 31 and those who use the world, as though they did not make full use of it; for the form of this world is passing away.

32 But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things

of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; 33 but

one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife,

1 Corinthians7:32-33

Page 24: Singleness is a Blessing

34 and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.
