Today's Verse: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Sunday, June 19, 1960

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Yesterday, the Scriptures reminded us of Solomon's moving dedication speech of the Temple. Incredibly, Paul asserts in today's verse that God has now chosen to invest his presence inside of us through the Holy Spirit. God lives in us as majestically in our day as in Jerusalem's Temple in Solomon's day. Our acceptability to God as his holy dwelling came at a great price to him - the death of his Son! How can we refuse to honor his divine presence in us? How can we not live a holy life in response to his grace?

My Prayer...

Forgive me, dear Father. I know there have been times when I have lost sight of the wonder of your glorious presence within me. The gift of your Spirit is a dazzling and humbling grace. Once again, Father, I pledge to present my body as a living sacrifice to please and honor you as your Temple. At the same time, I acknowledge I need the presence and power of your Holy Spirit to honor you as your holy dwelling place. Lead, cleanse, purify, and make me like Jesus each day by the transforming power and presence of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name, I ask this. Amen.
