PROMISE #296 - OCTOBER 23
Promise #296:
I have given you My Spirit, so your body could be My temple.
1 Corinthians 6:19 (WEB)
Or don’t you know that your body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you,
which you have from God? You are not your own,
God's Holy Spirit is the core of His being, just like our spirit is the essence of our existence. Amazingly, He has entrusted us with His precious Holy Spirit. It comforts me that we could be the resting place for the living God.
Today's promise tells us that we belong to God, and He delights in resting upon us. In the Old Testament, we read about the Holy Spirit coming upon people at certain times. In the New Testament, we have the privilege of knowing a whole new level of interaction with the Holy Spirit. He lives in us. In John 14:23, Jesus said that not only will the Holy Spirit live in us, but Jesus and the Father would, too!
There is no greater honor that we could receive other than to be the temple of the living God. I pray that everyone will take a moment and thank God for trusting us with His presence. May we never take His indwelling for granted!
