Having An Undivided Devotion To The Lord

1 Cor 7:32-35
32I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord's affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34and his interests are divided. An unmarried woman or virgin is concerned about the Lord's affairs: Her aim is to be devoted to the Lord in both body and spirit. But a married woman is concerned about the affairs of this world—how she can please her husband. 35I am saying this for your own good, not to restrict you, but that you may live in a right way in undivided devotion to the Lord.


This passage from Paul is talking about marriage, and how to live a life in marriage with God in the relationship. Similarly, it speaks of an undivided devotion to the Lord.

We must keep the Lord in our relationships. To keep focus on Him. To have an undivided devotion of putting God first in our lives. To have an undivided devotion to keeping God in all parts of our lives. That He may be glorified through all that we are.

Heavenly Father, I want to thank you for the relationships that you have put in my life. I want to thank you for the blessings that you have poured over me. I pray that you may be the center of it all. Lend me your strength to keep my focus on You. I know it will be tough, but through Your Holy Spirit, I know that you will be with me. Continue to strengthen me I pray. Be glorified in Jesus mighty name.
Amen.
