Days are evil

The Days are evil – 1 Cor 7:25-26

Vs 25 – Paul has advice for the those who are not married.  He says that this is not a command of the Lord but a judgment, suggestion or piece of advice.  He believes that by God`s mercy what he shares can be taken trustworthy.  Paul believes that his advice can be trusted because he has spent many years serving and perfecting his thoughts.  

Vs 26 – Paul view of the world is much like of today.  The days are evil and short so a person should remain unmarried if they have been.  The crisis Paul is also talking about was the persecution the Christians were facing under Nero.  Persecution is a reality no matter who we are and where we live.  It comes in many forms and faces. When you are married you always have as a concern your family.  This can be a tool used by the enemy to derail faith.  So keep your family in prayer and cover them with protection of the Lord.  You have God’s promises so stand on them and be strong for the Lord.
