Step 5: Perceive
It’s quite easy to be focused on the glorious day when you will marry the one that Christ has for you, but don’t lose sight of the here and now. Just because God is preparing you for marriage does not mean we are to do nothing in the meantime.
Ask God what it is He would have you to do during your time of singleness. You need to understand (or perceive) this so that you do not remain idle. My grandmother always said, 'an idle mind is the devil’s playground'.
Just as you will when you’re married, you have an assignment and a ministry in your singleness. Could it be that you’re not progressing towards marriage because you’re not completing the task at hand?
TIP
A mature Christian seeks God’s will and wisdom daily.
God has a purpose and a plan for each of our lives, so we need to seek His face and ask Him to reveal His plan for us during this season. There is work to be done, so you can rest assured that your role is not just sitting around waiting to be married. Perceive who God is to you, get to know Him better and serve Him wholeheartedly during your season of singleness.
