SCRIPTURE: 1Corinthians (NIV) 6:13b The body, however, is not meant for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body….15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ himself?
OBSERVATION: Although God created man and woman to be sexual creatures, sexual expression is clearly meant to be within the bounds of marriage. As enjoyable as sexual intimacy was meant to be, that is not the highest purpose of the body.
APPLICATION: The primary—the highest purpose of my body is as a holy temple in which the Lord dwells. My body is the place where My Lord and I enjoy fellowship. My body is to be a place for God to enjoy.
In being separate entities inhabiting the same body, we (God and I) enjoy wonderful fellowship. Do I enjoy His presence? Does He enjoy my presence?
And in being joined as one spirit we enjoy expression, purpose and power in ministry. Do I recognize God as a vital part of everything I do? We are in this together!
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, thank you for making my body your dwelling place and for allowing me to be a part of what you are doing in the earth. Amen
