Scripture:  2Corinthians (NIV) 6:16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” 17 “Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 18 “I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.”

Observation:    Amazing truths are expressed in these verses.  That created human being can be the temple of the God who created all we see!!!  The living God shares our lives and accompanies us everywhere we go!   He knows every thought, hears every word we say out loud or under our breath.  He is our Father; we are His son and daughters!  …and this is all HIS idea!!

Application:   It is for me, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to live like the above is true, because it is!   I honor Him by where I go AND where I do not go.  I honor Him by what I do AND what I do not do.  I honor Him by what I say AND what I do not say.

Prayer:   Holy Spirit, keep reminding me that I am a temple in which the God of all creation lives.  Put your thoughts in my mind as to what is pleasing to this heavenly visitor who is always with me.  Amen
