Temple of God
What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live in them and walk in them. I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
- 2 Corinthians 6:16
Your church is not your temple! Your body is a temple, and inside it resides the Holy Spirit. In the Old Testament, the tabernacle of God was comprised of the outer court, the inner court, and the Holy of Holies.
The outer court is your body. The inner court is your soul: "The Holy of Holies is the temple not made by man" (Hebrews 9:1-11). Within our spirit is an altar to Jehovah God! And God said, "It is in that place that I will come in and I will sup with my people" (Revelation 3:20).
Prepare and maintain your temple for His presence. Let the Shekinah glory of God fill you and radiate from you. Seek Him who dwells in your heart today and hear the still, small voice of the Lord.
Remember that you are a reflection of His glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). You are not the source of His glory. Never take that glory. Always give Him honor and glory.
Lord, You are light and life, grace and mercy, just and right, and filled with love and power. Let our hearts draw near to you today. Let us seek you with all our hearts because we know that our desires are found and fulfilled in You. We want to know You. Amen.
