"See His Body As God's Temple"
Today's Verse: “Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” - 1 Corinthians 3:16 (NASB)
In the Old Testament, God’s presence dwelt in the temple. Within the temple was a place called the Holy of Holies. This place was where God’s presence was manifested.
Paul reminds us that we are the temple of God. Not the church of God, but His temple. We are His temple, because God dwells within us. The Holy Spirit took up residence in our lives when we came by faith to Christ.
Since our bodies are God’s temple, wherever we go, God goes. What we see, God sees. What we do, God does with us. Where did you take God this week? What did you show God this week? What did God see through you this week?
If we truly believed that God lived in us, what difference would it make in our life? Would we be more careful with our actions, entertainment, and activities? Would we be more confident if we truly believed God had taken up residence within us? This week, wherever you go, remember God is with you, because you are His temple.
As you pray for your husband/kids/family/friends today, pray that they remembers that God dwells within them. Ask the Lord to remind them that where they goes and what they sees, God sees with them. Ask God to give them new courage and confidence as they remember they are the temple of God.
May God break all the bondages on your loved ones, as you pray for them.
