## Resource

Today we’re in First Corinthians 7, and this chapter is all about faithfulness, self-control, contentment, and learning how to stay aligned with God in whatever season you’re in. Paul the Apostle keeps bringing the focus back to one thing: stop living restless. And if we’re being honest, restlessness is one of the biggest struggles traders deal with. Always chasing the next setup, the next strategy, the next payout, the next breakthrough, thinking peace will finally come once something changes externally. But Paul says, “Only let each person lead the life that the Lord has assigned to him, and to which God has called him.” — 1 Corinthians 7:17. Then again, “Each one should remain in the condition in which he was called.” — 1 Corinthians 7:20. Paul is teaching contentment and faithfulness, not laziness or complacency, but learning how to stay grounded instead of constantly feeling like you need something else to finally have peace.
