MEDITATE SUNDAY: FOR CHASTITY
Things concerning the body are part of spiritual meditation. Keep in mind your body is where the Holy Spirit seeks to dwell. Meditation to obtain obedience in abstaining is necessary to have the true form of chastity. The meditation should be taken seriously for those unmarried. The body is the God's temple and mediation to keep it clean of sins against the body is using chaste methods to subdue it's craving for pleasures. Therefore the meditation to join God with the body makes you one spirit with God.
Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord;
and the Lord is for the body.
[1 Corinthians 6:13b]
But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
[1 Corinthians 6:17]
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of
the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have God
and ye are not your own?
[1 Corithtinans 6:19]
Mediation of this joining in practice of chastity makes your union with God purer and more rewarding. This is particular so with those who are unmarried. But those who are married can practice an away time in order to meditate on God--even if the couple decides to spend only a short time away from each other intimately.
Let this mediation be considered among those living single as so to develop a more purified glory of God in your body and part of your spiritual temple of life.
BLESSINGS,
MIISRAEL

Great meditation, but I would also like to add that what helped me while I was waiting on God's blessing of a mate, I would be sure to watch what came into my nosegates, eargates, and eyegates particularly the music I listened to and the movies, books, and magazines I read. I would never look long or stare on a nice looking man for more than a second. I wouldn't engage my senses especially to sweet smelling men's colonges and I wouldn't wear too, much perfume to attract men's senses to me.
There are women and men who on the prowl and splash themselves with too, much cologne and perfume. I'm not against perfume but you should get the point that I'm making. These things especially clothing or the lack of clothing that people wear to trap people to them are all tools that can be used for good or for naughtiness. Let all the singles pray and meditate for God's intervention for a mate at His timing, because I remember all too well how challenging Singleness can prove to be.
