God's Temple

"God's Temple"
(The Spirit Within)



(S)"16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple."
(2Cor. 3:16-17)


(O) The spirit was given to us as a gift. When we are baptized, we received the gift of the holy spirit. We, along with the spirit, make up temple of God. Anyone or anything who comes against us, comes against the temple of God. God will destroy that person or entity.


(A) I will meditate on this scripture daily so that I am reminded of the power and authority that I have within me. To remember that the spirit of God is always with me. I will be reminded by this scripture of my resposibility to act and function in the spirit and to die to my flesh daily.


(P) "Oh Father God, help me to die to my flesh today and everyday and to yield to the spirit of God that lives in my midst. Help me to realize the resposibility that I have to function in the spirit and to work and run my specific assignment. Not my will but God's will to be done in and through me. Amen."
