temples

What image does the word ‘temple’ evoke for you? Most people think of elegant and stately architecture, typically in stone. But what is the function of a temple? Isn’t it a dwelling place for me? My word describes temples as structures built by men, but these are a thing of the past, for I said that I would never again inhabit the works of men’s hands. The temple I now inhabit is one of my own making that is fearfully and wonderfully made. I dwell within those I have redeemed. Do you regard your body as the temple of the Holy Spirit and treat it accordingly? This doesn’t apply to everyone, but the potential exists. Do you look at everyone you meet as a place where I dwell, or could?
