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

God has put you where you are.

Oh, sure, you have free will, and your actions and attitudes affect your life, but God is the Sovereign Lord of the Universe. If he has called you to singleness for this time, do not waste it by wishing to be married. You might miss out on the joys of serving God with undivided attention. If he has given you a spouse, quit with the daydreaming and the “what if”ing. Rock the Kingdom with your marriage. To borrow from my week-ago self: Don’t worry that the grass is greener on the other side. Just mow your own lawn.

Happy Friday, Beloved
