Living Temples
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Thoughts:
"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God?" This verse emphasizes the personal nature of our relationship with God. You are not just part of a grand spiritual building; your very body is a temple where God dwells.
This truth carries both incredible privilege and responsibility. How does knowing that God's Spirit lives in you change how you view yourself? How might it influence your choices and actions? Today, consider ways you can honor God with your body, mind, and spirit. This could involve caring for your physical health, guarding your thoughts, or using your talents to serve others. Remember, you were bought at a price (v.20). Let every aspect of your life reflect the value God places on you and the presence of His Spirit within you.
Prayer:
Tell the Lord that you surrender everything and all of yourself to Him today.
