“I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:32-35‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,

This stands out because Paul says, “I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.”  Do you have anxieties that take your attention away from God?  Maybe some of them are due to marriage or because your not married. I have plenty of anxieties and they are a good indicator that I’m not in right relationship with God. When I’m anxious, I’ve let something or an outcome become greater then God and it’s a good idea to stop and ask Him about it. Please pray that we and our friends keep our undivided devotion to the Lord. Please pray for Phil’s group.
