7-21-2009. . . .Where is your Focus?
According to the Apostle Paul, the focus of a single man and a single woman should be on ‘the things of the Lord’. “He that is unmarried (single) careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: (Cor 7:32 KJV) In so doing one positions themselves to be prepared properly for a mate if that be their desire. Many singles however, (male and female) find themselves preoccupied with everything but the things of God including, finding a mate on their own! Am I suggesting a total disconnect from active pursuit of a mate? Hardly! I’m recommending doing it God’s way! Focus on and take care of the things of God and He will take care of you and your things! “Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” (Ps 37:4-5 KJV) Where is your focus?

Prayer: Lord, I pray for single men and women everywhere that they may focus their attention on you. Use them in your service while yet in their singleness. Prepare the perfect mate for them and at the appointed time and place, reward them for their faithfulness by allow their paths to cross. Amen!
Matt 6:33. . . .But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. NIV
