00:00:10.013 --> 00:00:15.593
Welcome to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast, where we pray bold prayers,
00:00:16.073 --> 00:00:19.953
walk in bold faith, and expect a bold God to show up.
00:00:20.093 --> 00:00:25.673
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and we open every episode with the same unshakable
00:00:25.673 --> 00:00:29.613
confidence Jabez had in 1 Chronicles 4.10.
00:00:29.893 --> 00:00:35.613
Lord, bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, let your hand be with me,
00:00:35.973 --> 00:00:39.973
keep me from evil, and keep me from causing pain. And the Bible says,
00:00:40.473 --> 00:00:41.813
God granted his request.
00:00:42.033 --> 00:00:45.573
So if you're here today, get ready, because we're praying big,
00:00:45.953 --> 00:00:51.813
believing big, and walking in everything God promised. Let's begin.
00:01:00.722 --> 00:01:04.582
Hello, and welcome back to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast.
00:01:04.962 --> 00:01:10.482
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and we are continuing our series, The Single Life.
00:01:10.742 --> 00:01:16.182
Our last episode, we had a very lengthy episode on self-control matters,
00:01:16.482 --> 00:01:19.502
went into great detail about why it matters.
00:01:19.762 --> 00:01:25.062
Now, the Holy Spirit is the guardian over your life if you let Him, okay?
00:01:25.342 --> 00:01:31.102
And today, we are in episode five. This episode is called, Stay Where You Are Called.
00:01:31.282 --> 00:01:36.542
And this one also challenges us on how we move. So let's get into it.
00:01:36.862 --> 00:01:41.402
Our foundational scripture is 1 Corinthians 7, 17,
00:01:42.070 --> 00:01:48.110
Verses 17 and 20, it reads, Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer
00:01:48.110 --> 00:01:54.590
in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.
00:01:55.030 --> 00:02:02.710
Verse 7, 20 tells us each person should remain in a situation they were in when God called them.
00:02:02.890 --> 00:02:08.230
Supporting Scripture tells us in Zechariah 4, 10, do not despise these small
00:02:08.230 --> 00:02:13.470
beginnings. Matthew 25, 21, well done, good and faithful servant.
00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:16.890
You have been faithful over a few things.
00:02:17.190 --> 00:02:23.010
In 1 Corinthians 10, 31, whatever you do, do it for the glory of God.
00:02:23.230 --> 00:02:29.850
In Proverbs 16, 3, it says, commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established.
00:02:30.230 --> 00:02:35.330
Let's go to our devotional insight. But Paul gives us a clear instructions that
00:02:35.330 --> 00:02:39.170
many overlook. look, stay where you are called.
00:02:39.470 --> 00:02:44.330
I have that in bold print. So stay where you are called. This does not mean remain stagnant.
00:02:44.470 --> 00:02:48.170
It means remain faithful and engaged in the season you are in.
00:02:48.470 --> 00:02:52.130
One of the greatest dangers of singleness is not loneliness, it's delay.
00:02:52.510 --> 00:02:57.210
Delay in purpose, delay in growth, delay in obedience, delay in development.
00:02:57.430 --> 00:03:04.590
Because of a mindset that says, I will fully step into my life when I get married,
00:03:04.750 --> 00:03:07.890
when I meet the right person, when things finally changed.
00:03:08.070 --> 00:03:10.470
But scripture does not support that thinking.
00:03:10.790 --> 00:03:17.630
God does not call you to wait to live. He calls you to live faithfully where you are.
00:03:18.331 --> 00:03:21.871
Let's check out some real life examples here. You have ideas,
00:03:22.091 --> 00:03:25.851
goals, and assignments in your heart. A business you've been thinking about starting.
00:03:26.051 --> 00:03:29.411
A ministry you feel led to step into.
00:03:29.991 --> 00:03:32.911
Growth areas where God has been pressing on.
00:03:33.171 --> 00:03:37.031
But instead of moving forward, you pause and you tell yourself,
00:03:37.251 --> 00:03:40.111
I'll do that once I get married and I'll settle down.
00:03:40.311 --> 00:03:43.071
When I find the right person, then I'll really focus.
00:03:43.331 --> 00:03:47.111
I don't want to build something alone. So you wait.
00:03:47.111 --> 00:03:52.231
And while you're waiting, opportunities pass, growth slows, confidence decreases,
00:03:52.831 --> 00:03:58.331
distraction increases, not because God hasn't called you, but because you've
00:03:58.331 --> 00:04:01.551
tied your obedience to a relationship.
00:04:01.911 --> 00:04:07.211
What this is, is not patience. It is postponed obedience.
00:04:07.731 --> 00:04:12.671
And postponed obedience is still disobedience. Spiritual reality.
00:04:12.931 --> 00:04:19.271
God assigns seasons intentionally. The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me, Psalms 38.8.
00:04:19.511 --> 00:04:24.051
That means your purpose is not waiting for another person to begin.
00:04:24.804 --> 00:04:30.624
It's already been activated by God. That means your purpose is not waiting for another person.
00:04:30.924 --> 00:04:35.704
That's the trap of when thinking. When I get married, then I will.
00:04:36.044 --> 00:04:40.424
The mindset creates delay, dependency, and disengagement.
00:04:40.684 --> 00:04:46.984
It shifts focus away from God's current assignment to a future scenario that has not happened.
00:04:47.204 --> 00:04:52.644
Whoever can be trusted with very little can be trusted with much, Luke 16 10.
00:04:53.484 --> 00:04:58.464
Faithfulness is proven now, not later. God develops before he expands.
00:04:58.924 --> 00:05:03.084
Before God's brain increased, he develops character, discipline,
00:05:03.524 --> 00:05:05.364
consistency, responsibility.
00:05:05.864 --> 00:05:10.184
Don't those sound like bad words? It's like, Lord, how much longer, how much longer?
00:05:10.304 --> 00:05:14.784
My goodness, you build character, discipline, consistency, and responsibility.
00:05:15.264 --> 00:05:19.924
Okay, I'm not there yet. All right. If these things are not built in singleness,
00:05:20.104 --> 00:05:22.504
they will not suddenly appear in marriage.
00:05:22.744 --> 00:05:25.664
Marriage does not fix lack of discipline.
00:05:25.924 --> 00:05:31.464
It often exposes it. You do not prepare for purpose later. You walk in it now.
00:05:31.844 --> 00:05:37.524
And often what you build in this season becomes the very thing you carry into
00:05:37.524 --> 00:05:39.984
the next, the modern trap.
00:05:40.264 --> 00:05:42.884
Living in imagination instead of action.
00:05:43.284 --> 00:05:47.804
Waiting for a companionship before commitment to purpose, seeking validation
00:05:47.804 --> 00:05:52.404
before obedience, allowing distractions to displace direction.
00:05:52.404 --> 00:05:57.364
This is how purpose becomes delayed, not because God is withholding,
00:05:57.464 --> 00:06:01.804
but because you are hesitating. Your calling does not wait.
00:06:02.092 --> 00:06:07.012
For relationship status. God has already given you time, ability,
00:06:07.232 --> 00:06:08.652
opportunity, and direction.
00:06:08.912 --> 00:06:10.712
The question is not, when will
00:06:10.712 --> 00:06:16.192
it happen? The question is, what am I doing with what I have right now?
00:06:16.352 --> 00:06:18.212
Let's ask ourselves some questions.
00:06:18.472 --> 00:06:22.472
That one pinched a little bit. I don't know about you, but in what areas have
00:06:22.472 --> 00:06:24.972
I delayed obedience waiting for relationship?
00:06:25.392 --> 00:06:29.332
What has God already placed in my hands that I have not fully pursued?
00:06:29.532 --> 00:06:34.412
Am I actively walking in purpose or waiting for something to change first?
00:06:34.612 --> 00:06:38.272
Where is God calling me to move forward now?
00:06:38.572 --> 00:06:44.092
Let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, help me to be faithful in the season I am in.
00:06:44.212 --> 00:06:49.892
Remove every mindset that causes me to delay obedience or wait to live fully.
00:06:50.112 --> 00:06:54.152
Give me clarity about what you have called me to do right now.
00:06:54.452 --> 00:06:58.552
Strengthen me to move forward with confidence, discipline, and trust in you.
00:06:58.752 --> 00:07:03.992
Let me not waste this season, but maximize it for your glory. In Jesus' name, amen.
00:07:04.372 --> 00:07:07.732
I decree I will not delay obedience waiting for a relationship.
00:07:07.972 --> 00:07:13.452
I am faithful in the season God has assigned to me. I will walk in purpose now, not later.
00:07:13.652 --> 00:07:17.072
I reject passivity, hesitation, and distraction.
00:07:17.432 --> 00:07:20.912
What God has placed in my hands, I will steward well.
00:07:21.112 --> 00:07:25.552
My life is active, purposeful, and aligned with God.
00:07:25.812 --> 00:07:29.692
Thank you again for listening, for taking part in.
00:07:30.305 --> 00:07:34.605
It's pretty much the conversation that God is having with me,
00:07:34.805 --> 00:07:36.625
but I'm letting you listen in.
00:07:36.765 --> 00:07:42.885
And I hope it's blessing you because this episode has really kind of challenged
00:07:42.885 --> 00:07:44.625
me, and I hope it challenged you.
00:07:44.845 --> 00:07:48.745
And it gave me something that I can apply to my life. Because mentally,
00:07:48.765 --> 00:07:54.065
we don't think we're delaying our best, but this shows us that God is the one
00:07:54.065 --> 00:07:59.585
that sees that we are holding out on giving him our best until what?
00:07:59.765 --> 00:08:04.045
Some future event that may never happen. But I want you to take time to reflect on it.
00:08:04.265 --> 00:08:11.405
Take time to give it back to God and ask him to make it right, make it tight.
00:08:11.605 --> 00:08:15.605
So I'm your host, Connie Morris, and this is The Diary of a Black Woman Podcast.
00:08:16.005 --> 00:08:19.785
And I will definitely see you on the next episode.
00:08:30.728 --> 00:08:35.188
Family, thank you for spending this time with me today. To every woman listening
00:08:35.188 --> 00:08:40.968
who has ever felt hidden, overlooked, or pushed aside, I want you to hear me clearly.
00:08:41.268 --> 00:08:44.148
God has not forgotten you, and neither have I.
00:08:44.308 --> 00:08:49.608
That's why I moved everything to our new home on pod page, so you would have
00:08:49.608 --> 00:08:53.168
one place to connect with me, read the devotionals, listen to the podcast,
00:08:53.508 --> 00:08:55.408
and reach out whenever you need to.
00:08:55.588 --> 00:09:00.428
If you want to leave me a message, send an email, or simply find encouragement,
00:09:00.628 --> 00:09:04.088

00:09:08.508 --> 00:09:12.128
you'll find a Buy Me, a Ko-fi link on the site as well.
00:09:12.348 --> 00:09:16.508
No pressure, just love and community. Before we leave, I want to speak the word
00:09:16.508 --> 00:09:19.528
that I close with every time because somebody needs this reminder today.
00:09:19.688 --> 00:09:22.468
It comes from Jeremiah 29, 11, 14.
00:09:22.748 --> 00:09:27.248
I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and
00:09:27.248 --> 00:09:31.408
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future, then you will call upon
00:09:31.408 --> 00:09:34.588
me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you.
00:09:34.748 --> 00:09:38.428
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
00:09:38.588 --> 00:09:42.068
I will be found by you, declares the Lord.
00:09:42.488 --> 00:09:46.948
Beloved, God has a plan for your life, a real one, a good one,
00:09:46.968 --> 00:09:52.948
and as long as you keep seeking him, you will find him even from the hidden places. I love you.
00:09:53.048 --> 00:09:55.508
I'm praying for you and I'll meet you next time.
00:00:10.013 --> 00:00:15.593
Welcome to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast, where we pray bold prayers,
00:00:16.073 --> 00:00:19.953
walk in bold faith, and expect a bold God to show up.
00:00:20.093 --> 00:00:25.673
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and we open every episode with the same unshakable
00:00:25.673 --> 00:00:29.613
confidence Jabez had in 1 Chronicles 4.10.
00:00:29.893 --> 00:00:35.613
Lord, bless me indeed, enlarge my territory, let your hand be with me,
00:00:35.973 --> 00:00:39.973
keep me from evil, and keep me from causing pain. And the Bible says,
00:00:40.473 --> 00:00:41.813
God granted his request.
00:00:42.033 --> 00:00:45.573
So if you're here today, get ready, because we're praying big,
00:00:45.953 --> 00:00:51.813
believing big, and walking in everything God promised. Let's begin.
00:01:00.722 --> 00:01:04.582
Hello, and welcome back to the Diary of a Black Woman podcast.
00:01:04.962 --> 00:01:10.482
I'm your host, Connie Morris, and we are continuing our series, The Single Life.
00:01:10.742 --> 00:01:16.182
Our last episode, we had a very lengthy episode on self-control matters,
00:01:16.482 --> 00:01:19.502
went into great detail about why it matters.
00:01:19.762 --> 00:01:25.062
Now, the Holy Spirit is the guardian over your life if you let Him, okay?
00:01:25.342 --> 00:01:31.102
And today, we are in episode five. This episode is called, Stay Where You Are Called.
00:01:31.282 --> 00:01:36.542
And this one also challenges us on how we move. So let's get into it.
00:01:36.862 --> 00:01:41.402
Our foundational scripture is 1 Corinthians 7, 17,
00:01:42.070 --> 00:01:48.110
Verses 17 and 20, it reads, Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer
00:01:48.110 --> 00:01:54.590
in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them.
00:01:55.030 --> 00:02:02.710
Verse 7, 20 tells us each person should remain in a situation they were in when God called them.
00:02:02.890 --> 00:02:08.230
Supporting Scripture tells us in Zechariah 4, 10, do not despise these small
00:02:08.230 --> 00:02:13.470
beginnings. Matthew 25, 21, well done, good and faithful servant.
00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:16.890
You have been faithful over a few things.
00:02:17.190 --> 00:02:23.010
In 1 Corinthians 10, 31, whatever you do, do it for the glory of God.
00:02:23.230 --> 00:02:29.850
In Proverbs 16, 3, it says, commit your work to the Lord and your plans will be established.
00:02:30.230 --> 00:02:35.330
Let's go to our devotional insight. But Paul gives us a clear instructions that
00:02:35.330 --> 00:02:39.170
many overlook. look, stay where you are called.
00:02:39.470 --> 00:02:44.330
I have that in bold print. So stay where you are called. This does not mean remain stagnant.
00:02:44.470 --> 00:02:48.170
It means remain faithful and engaged in the season you are in.
00:02:48.470 --> 00:02:52.130
One of the greatest dangers of singleness is not loneliness, it's delay.
00:02:52.510 --> 00:02:57.210
Delay in purpose, delay in growth, delay in obedience, delay in development.
00:02:57.430 --> 00:03:04.590
Because of a mindset that says, I will fully step into my life when I get married,
00:03:04.750 --> 00:03:07.890
when I meet the right person, when things finally changed.
00:03:08.070 --> 00:03:10.470
But scripture does not support that thinking.
00:03:10.790 --> 00:03:17.630
God does not call you to wait to live. He calls you to live faithfully where you are.
00:03:18.331 --> 00:03:21.871
Let's check out some real life examples here. You have ideas,
00:03:22.091 --> 00:03:25.851
goals, and assignments in your heart. A business you've been thinking about starting.
00:03:26.051 --> 00:03:29.411
A ministry you feel led to step into.
00:03:29.991 --> 00:03:32.911
Growth areas where God has been pressing on.
00:03:33.171 --> 00:03:37.031
But instead of moving forward, you pause and you tell yourself,
00:03:37.251 --> 00:03:40.111
I'll do that once I get married and I'll settle down.
00:03:40.311 --> 00:03:43.071
When I find the right person, then I'll really focus.
00:03:43.331 --> 00:03:47.111
I don't want to build something alone. So you wait.
00:03:47.111 --> 00:03:52.231
And while you're waiting, opportunities pass, growth slows, confidence decreases,
00:03:52.831 --> 00:03:58.331
distraction increases, not because God hasn't called you, but because you've
00:03:58.331 --> 00:04:01.551
tied your obedience to a relationship.
00:04:01.911 --> 00:04:07.211
What this is, is not patience. It is postponed obedience.
00:04:07.731 --> 00:04:12.671
And postponed obedience is still disobedience. Spiritual reality.
00:04:12.931 --> 00:04:19.271
God assigns seasons intentionally. The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me, Psalms 38.8.
00:04:19.511 --> 00:04:24.051
That means your purpose is not waiting for another person to begin.
00:04:24.804 --> 00:04:30.624
It's already been activated by God. That means your purpose is not waiting for another person.
00:04:30.924 --> 00:04:35.704
That's the trap of when thinking. When I get married, then I will.
00:04:36.044 --> 00:04:40.424
The mindset creates delay, dependency, and disengagement.
00:04:40.684 --> 00:04:46.984
It shifts focus away from God's current assignment to a future scenario that has not happened.
00:04:47.204 --> 00:04:52.644
Whoever can be trusted with very little can be trusted with much, Luke 16 10.
00:04:53.484 --> 00:04:58.464
Faithfulness is proven now, not later. God develops before he expands.
00:04:58.924 --> 00:05:03.084
Before God's brain increased, he develops character, discipline,
00:05:03.524 --> 00:05:05.364
consistency, responsibility.
00:05:05.864 --> 00:05:10.184
Don't those sound like bad words? It's like, Lord, how much longer, how much longer?
00:05:10.304 --> 00:05:14.784
My goodness, you build character, discipline, consistency, and responsibility.
00:05:15.264 --> 00:05:19.924
Okay, I'm not there yet. All right. If these things are not built in singleness,
00:05:20.104 --> 00:05:22.504
they will not suddenly appear in marriage.
00:05:22.744 --> 00:05:25.664
Marriage does not fix lack of discipline.
00:05:25.924 --> 00:05:31.464
It often exposes it. You do not prepare for purpose later. You walk in it now.
00:05:31.844 --> 00:05:37.524
And often what you build in this season becomes the very thing you carry into
00:05:37.524 --> 00:05:39.984
the next, the modern trap.
00:05:40.264 --> 00:05:42.884
Living in imagination instead of action.
00:05:43.284 --> 00:05:47.804
Waiting for a companionship before commitment to purpose, seeking validation
00:05:47.804 --> 00:05:52.404
before obedience, allowing distractions to displace direction.
00:05:52.404 --> 00:05:57.364
This is how purpose becomes delayed, not because God is withholding,
00:05:57.464 --> 00:06:01.804
but because you are hesitating. Your calling does not wait.
00:06:02.092 --> 00:06:07.012
For relationship status. God has already given you time, ability,
00:06:07.232 --> 00:06:08.652
opportunity, and direction.
00:06:08.912 --> 00:06:10.712
The question is not, when will
00:06:10.712 --> 00:06:16.192
it happen? The question is, what am I doing with what I have right now?
00:06:16.352 --> 00:06:18.212
Let's ask ourselves some questions.
00:06:18.472 --> 00:06:22.472
That one pinched a little bit. I don't know about you, but in what areas have
00:06:22.472 --> 00:06:24.972
I delayed obedience waiting for relationship?
00:06:25.392 --> 00:06:29.332
What has God already placed in my hands that I have not fully pursued?
00:06:29.532 --> 00:06:34.412
Am I actively walking in purpose or waiting for something to change first?
00:06:34.612 --> 00:06:38.272
Where is God calling me to move forward now?
00:06:38.572 --> 00:06:44.092
Let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, help me to be faithful in the season I am in.
00:06:44.212 --> 00:06:49.892
Remove every mindset that causes me to delay obedience or wait to live fully.
00:06:50.112 --> 00:06:54.152
Give me clarity about what you have called me to do right now.
00:06:54.452 --> 00:06:58.552
Strengthen me to move forward with confidence, discipline, and trust in you.
00:06:58.752 --> 00:07:03.992
Let me not waste this season, but maximize it for your glory. In Jesus' name, amen.
00:07:04.372 --> 00:07:07.732
I decree I will not delay obedience waiting for a relationship.
00:07:07.972 --> 00:07:13.452
I am faithful in the season God has assigned to me. I will walk in purpose now, not later.
00:07:13.652 --> 00:07:17.072
I reject passivity, hesitation, and distraction.
00:07:17.432 --> 00:07:20.912
What God has placed in my hands, I will steward well.
00:07:21.112 --> 00:07:25.552
My life is active, purposeful, and aligned with God.
00:07:25.812 --> 00:07:29.692
Thank you again for listening, for taking part in.
00:07:30.305 --> 00:07:34.605
It's pretty much the conversation that God is having with me,
00:07:34.805 --> 00:07:36.625
but I'm letting you listen in.
00:07:36.765 --> 00:07:42.885
And I hope it's blessing you because this episode has really kind of challenged
00:07:42.885 --> 00:07:44.625
me, and I hope it challenged you.
00:07:44.845 --> 00:07:48.745
And it gave me something that I can apply to my life. Because mentally,
00:07:48.765 --> 00:07:54.065
we don't think we're delaying our best, but this shows us that God is the one
00:07:54.065 --> 00:07:59.585
that sees that we are holding out on giving him our best until what?
00:07:59.765 --> 00:08:04.045
Some future event that may never happen. But I want you to take time to reflect on it.
00:08:04.265 --> 00:08:11.405
Take time to give it back to God and ask him to make it right, make it tight.
00:08:11.605 --> 00:08:15.605
So I'm your host, Connie Morris, and this is The Diary of a Black Woman Podcast.
00:08:16.005 --> 00:08:19.785
And I will definitely see you on the next episode.
00:08:30.728 --> 00:08:35.188
Family, thank you for spending this time with me today. To every woman listening
00:08:35.188 --> 00:08:40.968
who has ever felt hidden, overlooked, or pushed aside, I want you to hear me clearly.
00:08:41.268 --> 00:08:44.148
God has not forgotten you, and neither have I.
00:08:44.308 --> 00:08:49.608
That's why I moved everything to our new home on pod page, so you would have
00:08:49.608 --> 00:08:53.168
one place to connect with me, read the devotionals, listen to the podcast,
00:08:53.508 --> 00:08:55.408
and reach out whenever you need to.
00:08:55.588 --> 00:09:00.428
If you want to leave me a message, send an email, or simply find encouragement,
00:09:00.628 --> 00:09:04.088
it's all there at DiaryOfABlackWomanLLC.com.
00:09:04.188 --> 00:09:08.268

00:09:08.508 --> 00:09:12.128
you'll find a Buy Me, a Ko-fi link on the site as well.
00:09:12.348 --> 00:09:16.508
No pressure, just love and community. Before we leave, I want to speak the word
00:09:16.508 --> 00:09:19.528
that I close with every time because somebody needs this reminder today.
00:09:19.688 --> 00:09:22.468
It comes from Jeremiah 29, 11, 14.
00:09:22.748 --> 00:09:27.248
I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and
00:09:27.248 --> 00:09:31.408
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future, then you will call upon
00:09:31.408 --> 00:09:34.588
me and come and pray to me and I will listen to you.
00:09:34.748 --> 00:09:38.428
You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
00:09:38.588 --> 00:09:42.068
I will be found by you, declares the Lord.
00:09:42.488 --> 00:09:46.948
Beloved, God has a plan for your life, a real one, a good one,
00:09:46.968 --> 00:09:52.948
and as long as you keep seeking him, you will find him even from the hidden places. I love you.
00:09:53.048 --> 00:09:55.508
I'm praying for you and I'll meet you next time.
