Job 17-19:1 Corinthians 7:1-19

Good Morning Truth Seekers! Job continues to hold fast to his righteousness. His friends plead with him to be sensible. Job relents that God has wrongly judged him and that he would prefer death. He gives hope to 19:25 I know my redeemer lives. And that he will see God's face after this life and suffering ends.

1 Corinthians 7:Paul deal with Marriage. Unmarried himself he believes that is better for those who are serving God. However, he gives way to marriage if one cannot control sexual self. Paul gives instruction to married couples to fulfill each other sexually and not to withhold their bodies from one another except for prayer and a time of mutual consent. His warning is that the Devil will tempt them sexually to seek satisfaction elsewhere. Paul is of the conviction that divorce should not be for difference in religion. But if a non believer wants to honor the marriage then stay in it, who knows conversion might come. Nothing is more important than obeying the commands of God. This speaks to the concept of conversion and calling. One does not have to jump through hoops to serve God. He can use anyone he chooses.
