So I say to those who aren’t married and to widows—it’s better to stay unmarried, just as I am. But if they can’t control themselves, they should go ahead and marry. It’s better to marry than to burn with lust. 1 Corinthians 7:8-9

God places the lonely in families; Psalm 68:6

I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. Philippians 4:11-12

For I can do everything with the help of Christ who gives me the strength I need. Philippians 4:13

But if you do get married, it is not a sin. And if a young woman gets married, it is not a sin. However, I am trying to spare you the extra problems that come with marriage. 1 Corinthians 7:28

I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible. 1 Corinthians 7:35

This Week’s Power Verse

“Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.” Psalms 37:5 NLT

The human heart is most deceitful and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? Jeremiah 17:9
