Worship into the Week-
The Appointed Time
The Unmarried and the Widowed
1 Corinthians 7: 25-40
Some encouragement and wise words
from Paul to the Corinthians here about marriage
and remaining unmarried.
Relationships and family take our time
and create complications with our priorities.
Remaining unmarried can be God's Kingdom plan.
Marriage is also a part of God's Kingdom plan.
It is the anxieties over our marital state
that can create challenges.
v.29...."the appointed time has grown very short."
v. 31 "For the present form
of this world is passing away."
This section of Scripture speaks
to singleness, but the larger framework
is about living in light of eternal realities
rather than our present circumstances.
It is about keeping one eye on the sky
and another one on our earthly state,
for the Lord is returning.
He is coming back.
No matter what our marital state,
we can ask the Lord to help us
to be more Cross-centered in our lives.
We don't know how much TIME we have.
