1 Corinthians 7:20-40
Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22 For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave. 23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings. 24 Brothers and sisters, each person, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
Concerning the Unmarried
25 Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy. 26 Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for a man to remain as he is. 27 Are you pledged to a woman? Do not seek to be released. Are you free from such a commitment? Do not look for a wife. 28 But if you do marry, you have not sinned; and if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face many troubles in this life, and I want to spare you this.
29 What I mean, brothers and sisters, is that the time is short. From now on those who have wives should live as if they do not; 30 those who mourn, as if they did not; those who are happy, as if they were not; those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away.
32 I would like you to be free from concern. An unmarried man is concerned about the Lord’s affairs—how he can please the Lord. 33 But a married man is concerned about the affairs of this world—how he can please his wife— 34 and 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. 35 I 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.
36 If anyone is worried that he might not be acting honorably toward the virgin he is engaged to, and if his passions are too strong[a] and he feels he ought to marry, he should do as he wants. He is not sinning. They should get married. 37 But the man who has settled the matter in his own mind, who is under no compulsion but has control over his own will, and who has made up his mind not to marry the virgin—this man also does the right thing. 38 So then, he who marries the virgin does right, but he who does not marry her does better.[b]
39 A woman is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wishes, but he must belong to the Lord. 40 In my judgment, she is happier if she stays as she is—and I think that I too have the Spirit of God.

Supplied Life Devotional by Bill Freeman
Let Him pass before your eyes August 25th
“And he said, Please, show me Your glory. Then He said, I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” EXODUS 33:18-19
When Moses said to the Lord, “Show me Your glory,” the Lord’s reply was simply, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you.” The Lord further responded to Moses by saying, “So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by” (v. 22). Following this speaking, Moses presented himself to the Lord to see His glory: 5 “Then the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the Lord. 6 And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin” (Exo. 34:5-7).
The Lord’s answer to Moses’ request, “Show me Your glory,” consisted of a wonderful heavenly scenery passing before him. Four times in these verses the Lord emphasized the matter of Moses seeing something pass before him: “I will make all My goodness pass before you,” “My glory passes by,” “I pass by,” and “the Lord passed before him and proclaimed.” From this we can see that to behold the Lord’s glory means to see the scenery of His Person and His work pass before us. It was beholding this scenery that transformed Moses so that “the skin of his face shone” (Exo. 34:30).
For Moses to behold the scenery of God’s glory passing by, the Lord told him that He would put him in the cleft of the rock and cover him with His hand (Exo. 33:22). In typology this signifies being hidden in the crucified Christ, who died for us on the cross and shed His precious blood so that we can approach God directly and behold His glory. Thus, because of the blood, because of Christ’s finished work, because of that once-and-for-all sacrifice, because He entered into the Holiest of All and made a way for us to be there and live there, now we can fully enjoy the glory of the Lord by letting this redemptive scenery pass before our spiritual eyes. Only the blood of Jesus ushers us into the glory. Growth does not get us into the glory. Being a believer for twenty-five or fifty years does not merit our getting into the glory. Only one thing qualifies us to enjoy the glory of the Lord — the precious blood of the Lamb. That is all. Just the blood. We can declare, “I am forgiven, I am washed, I am cleansed, and now I am qualified to behold the Lord face-to-face.” Paul describes this privilege as our having “the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ” (2 Cor. 4:6).
