THOSE WHO USE THE THINGS OF THE WORLD / 1 CORINTHIANS 7:31

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 7:31

And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.

THOSE WHO USE THE THINGS OF THE WORLD / 1 CORINTHIANS 7:31

We live in the period when all worldly things are rapidly approaching an end. For this reason, life in this world should not be our highest concern. Instead, we should direct our greatest attention toward our heavenly home (Hebrews 11:13-16) and to efforts that will matter for eternity (Matthew 6:19-21; 2 Corinthians 4:18).

TIME IS SHORT / 1 CORINTHIANS 7:29

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 7:29

But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none;

TIME IS SHORT / 1 CORINTHIANS 7:29

Time is limited for doing God’s work. Life is brief, and Christ’s return is approaching. This means that we must not be overly preoccupied with earthly issues and concerns (1 Corinthians 7:29-31) because material things will not last. This verse uses an element of hyperbole (deliberate exaggeration for effect), particularly as it relates to emotional expressions and earthly relationships. We should not be so caught up in any earthly attachment that we overlook eternal concerns. Paul is certainly not saying that Christians should neglect or abandon their marriage relationships.

KEEPING GOD’S COMMANDS / 1 CORINTHIANS 7:19

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) 1 Corinthians 7:19

Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

KEEPING GOD’S COMMANDS / 1 CORINTHIANS 7:19

Whatever a believer’s background, the individual should not rely on or yield to social or religious rituals, customs or traditions (Acts 2:29) in an attempt to satisfy people or gain favor with God. We cannot gain spiritual salvation through such actions, but only through genuine faith in Jesus Christ. Yet, how can Paul, who emphasized so strongly that salvation comes by faith (Romans 3 – 4), say that what really matters is “keeping God’s commands”? He can say this because salvation by faith, if it is a true experience, leads to obeying and serving God out of love and gratitude to Christ – not out of duty or obligation. Anything less than obedience falls short of New Testament saving faith (Galatians 5:6; Galatians 6:15).

A PRAYER FOR MAY 2026

Welcome to May! This month is often seen as a season of renewal, blooming, and grace. Whether you are looking for a fresh start or a moment of quiet reflection, may this month bring you peace and growth.

Finding Peace in the Bloom

May is the fifth month; a number often associated with grace in spiritual traditions. Just as the flowers begin to open, it is a perfect time to open our hearts to new opportunities and divine favor.

  • Growth: Like the spring rain, may your spirit be refreshed and your worries washed away.
  • Trust: Even when progress feels slow, remember that seeds buried in faith are still growing.
  • Boldness: Step into this month with confidence, knowing you are guided and protected.

A Prayer for May

Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of this new month. As I step into May, I ask for Your guidance and protection over my life and my household.

Lord, help me to see the beauty in every day and to trust Your perfect timing. I ask for open doors, fresh opportunities, and the wisdom to walk through them with boldness.

May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, anchor my soul in every storm. Fill my heart with gratitude and my mind with clarity as I pursue the purpose You have for me.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Isaiah 43:19 – “See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”

 May is a “divine stage for grace to unfold.” Take each step this month with trust rather than pressure.
