I was reading this morning the passage that in 1 Corinthians about our bodies being the temple of the Holy Spirit. This reality has always been amazing to me, yet it has not always caused me pause before I act. So I started to wonder, do I live my life in this reality? I read a short story about a man who went to visit a great cathedral in New York. When He walked up to a shrine, around the neck of St. Joseph He saw a sine that read Do not worship here, this shrine is out of order.
So I wonder about my life, is there a sign around my neck? Do not expect to see Jesus here-- This shrine is out of order.
If indeed my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, then My worship to the Lord should be evident in my daily life. I need to make sure my shrine is in order-- I am to glorify God in my body and in my spirit which belong to God.

Thank you!
This awes me to think that my body is the temple of the HOLY SPIRIT.
The dwelling place for!
How wonderfully amazing yet humbling. We can thank GOD though. If there are moments or times we hang up the 'out of order' sign, HE is loving and merciful, ready to forgive. But may we never, each and every one who believes, I pray, do anything to grieve the HOLY SPIRIT.
I can thank and praise JESUS that HIS arms were already stretched out for me and that HE is always stretching HIS arms out for me!
O GIVE thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever! Psalm 107:1
