The Faithclip Christian podcast makes a great daily devotional.
Don't you know that your body is The Temple Of The Holy Spirit? This is Robert Woeger, and today we're going to talk about the importance of your body being God's Temple of His Holy Spirit. Every day, you must remember that you belong to God and you are not your own! Your body is His Temple where He chooses to dwell, once you've accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and repented of your sins.
So honor God with everything that comes into your body, and that leaves or goes out of your body. Your body is to be taken care of. You are a steward of everything God has given you.
Your talents, your giftings, your time, money, resources, everything that God has blessed you with in this life, including your body. Because your body is a gift from God. Without it, you would be nothing here on earth.
But with it, you can do all things through Jesus Christ who strengthens you. You have unlimited possibilities in God, because God is with you, who can be against you? Before you think, speak, or act in a certain way, always make sure that it glorifies God and gives Him honor.
Because you are not your own. You are bought with a great price, through Jesus Christ's Sacrifice on The Cross, with His Precious Blood. He paid a price so high to redeem you, and restore you back to God. He bought you when you were dead to your sins. But God chose to live in you, if you've been saved, if you've received Jesus as your Lord and Savior, if you've cried unto Him and received that gift of salvation, then The Holy Spirit dwells in you. He is with you, God in you, the hope of glory.
So, each day, and this day, choose to honor God with your body. Be careful what words you speak, because life and death are in the power of the tongue. You want to speak things that glorify God and that encourage and bless and uplift other people.
So change things for the better by your words, by your actions, and honor God with thanksgiving, for who He Is and who He Is through you, because you could do nothing apart from Jesus Christ in you, the hope of glory. But because He Lives, and dwells within you, because your body is The Temple Of The Holy Spirit, you can honor God each day, with every word, with every action, with every thought. So change your perspective, renew your perspective this day, and thank God, that your body is The Temple Of The Holy Spirit, and treat your body with honor, respect, and forgive your body, if you've ever had sickness, or if it's ever let you down, or you think it's let you down in any way.
And as you forgive and release your body, and repent of your sins, start speaking life over your body. Start speaking what God says you can do in this life, that you can do all things through Christ, and enjoy life, and enjoy God, and enjoy being The Temple Of The Holy Spirit with your body. God bless you! This is Robert Woeger. I hope you've been encouraged. Amen.
