Glorifying God in Singleness

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
(1 Corinthians 10:31)

There are glories that can’t be shown in marriage, but only in singleness. If God has called you to a life of singleness, perhaps temporarily, there are ways to display God’s glory that those who are dating and those people who are married can’t.

Glorifying God in Thanksgiving

Psalm 69:30-31
I will praise the name of God with a song,
And will magnify Him with thanksgiving.
This also shall please the Lord better than an ox or bull,
Which has horns and hooves.


We see God’s power, wisdom, love, and other attributes every day. However they often go ignored—in one ear and out the other. We are forgetful. We are insensitive. We are sinful. So many reasons, but not one of them is acceptable. Paul says we are without excuse for our lack of thankfulness (Romans 1:20-21). How does thankfulness glorify God? And how do we change our sinful hearts to thank Him unceasingly? How do we glorify Him so that we please Him “better than an ox or bull”? 

When I Fall, I Will Arise

Micah 7:7-9

Therefore I will look to the LORD;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
My God will hear me.
Do not rejoice over me, my enemy;
When I fall, I will arise;
When I sit in darkness,
The LORD will be a light to me.
I will bear the indignation of the LORD,
Because I have sinned against Him,
Until He pleads my case
And executes justice for me.
He will bring me forth to the light;
I will see His righteousness.


Every one of us is faced by the darkness of the world around us, and even unfortunately sometimes in ourselves. The sins of the world are all too often replicated in ourselves. It is so easy to conform to the evilness of the world. Listen to the same music, speak the same ungodly language, drink the same amount of alcohol… the list goes on. Micah faced this in his time. We face it today. So how do we react?
