“Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him. This is my rule in all the churches. Was anyone at the time of his call already circumcised? Let him not seek to remove the marks of circumcision. Was anyone at the time of his call uncircumcised? Let him not seek circumcision. For neither circumcision counts for anything nor uncircumcision, but keeping the commandments of God.”‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:17-19‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him……but keeping the commandments of God.” I love the fine line here that so often occurs in the Bible and is only possible by the power of the Holy Spirit. How do you lead a life assigned to you and keep the commandments? It’s seems easier to live by one or the other, but difficult to hold both in tension. Only the exchanged life enables life to be lived on this fine line and produce abundant joy. Please pray that we and our friends lead the life assigned to us today while keeping the commandments.
