Topic: Be Patient

I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress—that it is good for a man to remain as he is. – 1 Corinthians 7:26

The apostle Paul gave such advice to the Corinthian church when he wrote to them about marriage. He said, given the “present distress,” don’t make life-altering decisions. If you are single, remain single; if you are married, remain married. What was the “present distress” of which he wrote? It could have been some sort of crisis in Corinth resulting in hardship, or it might have been simply the challenges of following Christ in an ungodly, antagonistic culture. In other words, sometimes life presents enough “troubles” of its own without making drastic changes impulsively. Marriage is good; singleness is good. Just be patient and seek the Lord’s will and timing.

This advice about marriage applies to all the Christian life: Be patient, seek the Lord, move deliberately and prayerfully.

Don’t look around for a life partner, look up.
