I feel like the feature that I desire the most as a single girl that married women have is clear security. Now, I know that's not entirely true. That being married isn't a sure guaranty to security but it is nice to be able to go to someone when your car breaks down for help and solutions or even just to hug you. As a single girl it's hard to find it or have it at all in your life. I know there are fathers and brothers that are willing and able to provide and help in any means possible (and fir that matter they will probably continue to care for you in different ways after you are married) but they have a life of their own and a family of their own, at a curtain point you aren't their responsibility.
This being said there is something so amazing and wonderful to say about relying completely on God for all your needs. The practical "fix your car" needs, the crazy work situations for comfort, the uncertainty of where rent will come from and what direction your life is being built in. For me fear can consume my life, in every area there is uncertainty of what will come next and how situations will be worked through and I feel the lack of security strongly. Still, to know God will provide. To stand solely on this truth is frightening , yet can be so fulfilling. God always provides in miraculous ways. It may be completely different then how you pictured things turning out but He works all and I mean ALL things out for your good. When you stand so utterly set apart from others that He's the only one holding you up in desperate situations this is when you learn what true security is and feels like. To rely so completely on God and Him alone. It's when you learn how to act rightly, He deals with the fear and your stubbornness in these moments. He shows you how to submit and stand securely in His arms as a girl. It's unbelievable valuable as an example of how to act one day to your husband. Still, more importantly its acting in relationship with Him. It's intimacy with Him, it's learning to clearly hear His voice and His voice only. It's learning to let Him love you.
When you are single you can have the most desperate loneliness and uncertainty you will ever feel. Yet, if you take the time to not take your own path by forging through terrible hard things but to submit to God in this season it will be the anchor of the rest of your life and you will know stability and security that can bring a nation to its knees. You could not only change your life (mainly because its a give in that you'll become more like Him) but you'll effect the world around you drastically.
All this to say I will embrace the circumstance before me knowing its the season God has placed me in with a design in mind. Knowing He gives me only that which I can handle and that till He adds I'm happy with what I have as well as secure in Him.
I'm secure in Him.
