17Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts.20Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them. (1 Corinthians 7:17-20)
Thoughts: We should live as God calls us to live. Finding contentment in our lives is important. Paul is saying the circumcision is secondary today. What is important is being content in our situation for it enables us to trust God and have peace with God and with each other. We should be content where we live, where we stay. God has something for us right where we are.
Prayer: Lord, help me to be content in my situation- right where I am.
