Isaiah 56:2-7

Isaiah 56:2-7 NASB2020

“Blessed is a man who does this, And a son of man who takes hold of it; Who keeps from profaning the Sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil.” Let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD say, “The LORD will certainly separate me from His people.” Nor let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.” For this is what the LORD says: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And hold firmly to My covenant, To them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial, And a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which will not be eliminated. ¶“Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, To attend to His service and to love the name of the LORD, To be His servants, every one who keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it, And holds firmly to My covenant; Even those I will bring to My holy mountain, And make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”

(You've not found anyone yet?) For generations, the predominant message has been that marriage and bearing children constitute the complete and happy life. While marriage is highly esteemed throughout Scripture, and it does bring joy & fulfillment, the Bible also affirms the call to singleness. This devotional is a call for single people to display the Christ-exalting truths that shine more clearly through singleness than through marriage.
