No Matter the Station

1 Corinthians 7:17
17 Nevertheless, each one should retain the place in life that the Lord assigned to him and to which God has called him. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches.

Did you know that you are where your are for a reason? The apostle Paul talked about being married and being single. That one who is married has a different focus from one who is single. However, no matter which one, do what God has assigned to you. No matter whether we are married or single, God is to be our first love and we are to serve in whatever station of life he has called us to be in at that time.  While single, pray and seek the Lord and do what he has for you to do. In marriage, pray and seek the Lord and do what he has called you to do. For each, it is different but the result is the same. Everything we do, ought to be done to the glory of the Lord. No one should come between us and God. NO ONE. When we allow someone to come between our relationship with God, we have caused them to be an idol. That is not pleasing to God. As one single, never be to busy for God. It seems so simple to remember but why is God often getting the short end of the stick when he is the one who has blessed with whatever we have? If God decides that one is faithful enough for their station to change, then it will change. No matter what, continue to serve the Lord in what way he has called you to do.
