The Kitchen Table Devotional
1 Corinthians 7 Day 1
Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
1 Corinthians 7:5
Read 1 Corinthians 7:1-8
To live a successful spiritual life, deal with and surrender your sexual life to God. The moment we begin living in promiscuity, we begin to pilfer from our relationships now and future, especially in marriage. Fornication and adultery both deprive those we love of pure love and that allows the devil to bring deception, doubt and dislike into a marriage and a family. It’s hard to enjoy and pursue spiritual things together when we have sexual ties to others. It’s deep and very spiritual, allowing the devil to bring further temptation and trouble into our lives. But don’t give up! There is nothing that we let the devil bring into our lives that we can’t let Jesus take from our lives, but we must do it and deal with sexual sin with God and our spouse. Then we will be free to fully give and to fully enjoy love for God and each other as God intended.
