WHO OWNS MY BODY?

 
 
1 Corinthians 6:19,20
 
"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." ESV
 
Are we truly Christians? If so, we no longer own our own bodies. They belong to the Lord, who purchased them with His own blood. His Holy Spirit lives in our bodies. We honor Him with our bodies in all we think, say, and do. If we don't, we will crowd out the Holy Spirit with our disobedience and self-gratification. Then we will take back from Him ownership of our bodies.
 
Heavenly Father, please forgive us for the times we have dishonored you. Cleanse us from all things that do not bring glory to Your name. Help us to stand firm in honoring You with our bodies so that we will remain Yours and not return to the old selves we once were. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

IT'S THE INSIDE THAT REALLY COUNTS

 
 
Isaiah 66:2
 
"All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the Lord. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word." ESV
 
The most elaborate and ornate churches, temples, and shrines are only impressive to the human senses. God is not impressed with them at all. After all, He made the awesome universe. What gets God's attention as the most beautiful temple, is the individual that is humble in spirit. One who grieves the sin in this world and gives total respect to the things of God.
 
Heavenly Father, continue to work with us on our perspective of what is really important. Help us to keep our human senses in control and keep our lives humble and in communion with You. We pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
