What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. - 2 Corinthians 6:16 (NIV)

One day during morning devotions, I was thanking God for living in me. I thought about Paul saying that our bodies belong to God, calling the body God’s temple. When I went to do my exercises that morning, I decided that I would call them “temple maintenance.”

Words are powerful....

Today's Prayer
Thank you, Jesus, for the miracle of the Holy Spirit living in us. Give us the courage to tell others the difference the Spirit makes in our lives so that they can experience your love and grace. As you taught us we pray, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil” (Luke 11:2-4, KJV). Amen.
