Devotional – July 18, 2011

VERSE:
1 Corinthians 7:35–This I say for your own benefit; not to put a restraint upon you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord.

TRUTH:
Paul uses this chapter to give instruction and advice about sexual purity. This can be a difficult area for people to remain pure and obedient to the Lord. We are to show obedience and purity to the Lord in all areas of our life, including our sex life.

RESPONSE:
Lord, help me to show my devotion to You in all areas of my life, including sex. Help me to correctly use this blessing You’ve given in a way that glorifies You and not allow it to distract me from You.
