SPIRITUAL
DIARY FOR 5-29-02
My
Worship Time Focus: Younger widows
Bible
Reading & Meditation Reference: 1Timothy 5:11
Message of the verse: “But refuse to put younger widows on the
list, for when they feel sensual desires in disregard of Christ, they want to
get married.” In this section of the
letter Paul moves to speak of younger widows.
As talked about before the older widows could be put on a list and thus
be taken care of by the church, however these younger widows were not to be put
on this list. Paul starts to give some
reasons as to why in this verse. He says
that the younger widows will miss the sexual activity of marriage and will then
want to remarry. I do not think that
this is a problem for a younger widow to remarry if she marries a believer,
however the church should not take care of her if she will soon remarry.
Spiritual meaning for my life
today: I think that sexual
activities are a wonderful, God given activity for married people. However they should not get in the way of the
process of worshipping God.
The
work of God was very practical in what I learned from it today.
My
Steps of Faith Today: Continue to
trust the Lord with the problems that I am facing.
Memory
verse for the week: Romans 5:20
More
the law entered that offense might abound.
But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more.
