1 Corinthians 7:1-9; 17It is good for a man not to have sex. Read the theme again. Really? Seriously? That cannot be right. Can it? I’ve never heard that said or seen that message anywhere except for Scripture. That’s crazy. Right?
Not really. It makes total sense. If you are not focused on sex or pursuing a relationship with a person of the opposite sex, then you can totally focus on God. Remember, there is a bond that develops when you have sex. You are giving part of yourself to that sexual partner. You are building a bond with someone other than God.
So, don’t have sex. Keep yourself pure unto God. Keep your focus totally on Him. When you do, if He has a spouse for you, then He will bring the two of you together. You won’t have to fret or stew about when or how. Just focus your future on the Lord. Keep yourself free of any other commitment except for your commitment to God.
Pray: Talk to God about the concerns you have about today’s theme. Are your friends in sexual relationships? Do you feel alone while waiting for God’s plan? Do you think sexual activity would make your life better? Pray. Ask God for His direction, love and encouragement.
Do: Make a list of videos, TV shows and movies you watched this week. How does culture model sex? How would MTV or NBC respond to today's theme?
