VERSE:
The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and
likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the
wife. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a
time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come
together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.
-- 1 Corinthians 7:4-5

THOUGHT:
In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Paul told us that our bodies were not
our own, but that we had been bought at a price. Once again in
chapter 7, he reminds each of us that when we marry, our body is
not our own, it belongs to our spouse. We are to use our bodies to
bless, please, and bring fulfillment to our marriage partner. This
is crucial to our marriage relationship and also to please God!
PRAYER:
Holy and loving God, Abba Father, please forgive me when I have
cheapened myself by not treating my body as a gift to you. Whether
it is in marriage or whether it is as a single, I want to use my
body in a way that is holy and pleasing to you (and to my marriage
partner). In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
