Today's Scripture
Ezekiel 5:11
“As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, I will cut you off completely. I will show you no pity at all because you have defiled my Temple with your vile images and detestable sins.
It was a serious sin to defile the Temple, God's Sanctuary, by worshiping idols and practicing evil within it's very walls. In the New Testament, we learn that God now makes His home within those who are His. Our body is God's temple ( 1 Corinthians 6:19 Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, ) We defile Gods temple today by allowing gossiping, bitterness, love of money, lying, sexual sin, drugs, overindulging in food and drink, or any other wrong actions or attitudes to be a part of our life. By asking the Holy Spirit's help, we can keep from defiling His temple, our body.
Lord God, we want to live our lives holy and blameless in Your sight. Father, help us to keep our bodies and minds free from anything that goes against Your Word. Let us live pure lives, with right motives and intentions. Help us to never overindulge in anything that might take Your place as Lord of our lives. In Jesus' Name, Amen..
God bless!
Love in Christ,
