WE ARE A DWELLING of GOD
“…in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.“
It amazes me when I read verses that refer to my body being a dwelling place of God; or the temple of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) I like how commentator Matthew Henry explains this passage in Ephesians: “Observe, not only the universal church is called the temple of God, but particular churches; and even every true believer is a living temple, is a habitation of God through the Spirit. God dwells in all believers now, they having become the temple of God through the operations of the blessed Spirit, and his dwelling with them now is an earnest of their dwelling together with him to eternity.” When we wake in the mornings, go about our day, and end our evening, shouldn’t this thought be ever present on our minds: “I am a dwelling of God in the Spirit.” If it were on our minds, how would it affect what we do and say?
Heavenly Father, please make me increasingly mindful that I am the dwelling place of Your Holy Spirit so that all I do and say bring You honor and glory.
