1. That causes a person to be spending their time and effort into "guarding their heart" when they could be using that time to focus on God and TRUSTING that He will take care of them.
2. That puts God in a box of when He will bring that person into your life. Saying He WILL come when YOU guard your heart is demanding God of something that He can do all on His own.
1 Corinthians 7:32-34
"I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband."
SINGLE MEN AND WOMEN!! WE ARE BLESSED TO BE SINGLE!!!
We are told in 1 Corinthians that our main attention and interest should only be in the Lord while we are single. We don't have to worry about pleasing our spouse(just yet,) which means that we can fully give our ALL to the One who created us FOR HIM. There will come a day that our attention will be divided. We will have to juggle our time with the Lord and our spouse. BUT FOR NOW, we can revel in the love Our Father has for us and bask in His unconditional grace and mercies. If that doesn't make you stoked, I don't know what does? Now obviously relationships are still things God has established(for some) and will be blessed by Him, but we do not have to carry any pressure of trying to figure out when that time will come for us. He has it all figured out, taken care of, and has your best interest in mind.
Proverbs 19:21
"Many are the plans in the mind of man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand."
Let's be a generation that gives way to God's beautifully orchestrated purpose for our lives over our own self-seeking plans. Let's trust He knows what He's doing. Let's give God our full attention and not grow anxious or weary about our future. AND LET US LET OUR TIME OF SINGLENESS BE THE MOST BLESSED TIME IN OUR LIVES. ♥
