1Cor.7:26 I think that it is good therefore, because of the distress that is on us, that it is good for a man to be as he is. 7:27 Are you bound to a wife? Don't seek to be freed. Are you free from a wife? Don't seek a wife.

Seeking freedom from tribulation in the flesh just is not going to happen for a true Christian upon this earth, it is foolish to think that because we have a problem mate, or we don't have a mate that freedom from tribulation in our flesh is going to happen once we have our way.

The objective is for us to understand what we have been called into, which is the body of Christ, Christ spent his days in the flesh suffering in perfecting his faith. How can we as a Christian live a prosperous life with blessings after blessing as so many teach and not fill up he measure of the body of Christ upon earth in tribulation? Rather we understand it or not, tribulation will not change in what God uses to perfect us in all manner of spiritual growth. These fleshly brothers and sister were distress over the suffering they found in marriage as well as the suffering they found in not having a mate their flesh was warring on both accounts to have its needs meant.

Contentment was the key, not fleshly release, what does this mean, contentment does not come to body members without God Holy Spirit. Yes, the body of Christ is a spiritual body, united by love, growth comes through the Spirit of God as gifts to the body, each gift must be given as God pleases, if we are lacking and we are not going too get a gift by more fleshly wrangle, but why?

Simply put it is faith in God that gives us the gift if God choose to give it too us, but what if He does not? Still our faith declares God is good, He is not testing us with evil because we have to suffer, so we must pray for wisdom and wait patiently upon our Lord, it is only in complete trust do we have faith and contentment. But we must all be mindful none of this happens without tribulation in our flesh, so release from problems in marriage or not having a mate was not going to changes God's plan of ages for these fleshly Christian's in their high calling is in Christ Jesus.
