MONTHLY DEVOTIONAL FOR 27th MARCH

THE 27th OF MARCH

WE ARE THE TEMPLES OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WE BELONG TO THE LORD WHO REDEEMED US

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Our minds cannot comprehend the depth of these verses! How can we understand something that seems so impossible: the Holy Spirit that is God, who is unlimited, and has to come to dwell within us? It is so challenging to understand the ways and wisdom of the Lord!

How great God’s love is for us, in that He has sent the Holy Spirit to be in us always to help, lead, teach and do for us what no one else can do!

As Christians, we no longer belong to ourselves, but we belong to the One whom we invited to come into our hearts and become our Lord. And if we belong to the perfect, holy and just God, we must have an intimate relationship with Him as He dwells in us. We are to live purely, knowing that we are His and we should bring Him glory and honor through all that we are, have and do!

SUGGESTED PRAYER

What a tremendous honor, dear Lord Jesus, to have You dwelling in me through the Holy Spirit! My life on earth is like “a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes.” With You, and through You I have become the “temple of the Holy Spirit”! Please teach me how to live purely for You, and to bring You glory through all my thoughts, emotions, words and actions. Please help me do nothing out of vain glory, but in humility to give You glory for all my accomplishments. Without You I cannot do anything. But glory to Your Name Lord Jesus, I am not and I do not want to ever be without You! Amen
