Hello dear fellow Children of the LIVING GOD. I have been moving so it has been a difficult time with no internet. It is finally up and running and I am back online and able to write my blog.
I trust that as we have been so richly GOD blessed, so have you all. I have missed you all dearly and pray for everyone reading this to be truly touched by GOD today.
Moving made me realize my mortality and I was wondering how many more times on earth I might move. It also got me thinking about my physical body. I suddenly realized, and this may sound really dumb, why our bodies are the temple of the LORD.
Of course, when we accept Jesus and are baptized with the Holy Spirit, they come to live in us. A revelation! I knew it all the time, but had never really thought it aloud.
This is why we as children of GOD need to take good care of ourselves. We need to keep ourselves HOLY. Not just in our thoughts but also in how we maintain our physical bodies. We need to be clean, and well fed, well exercised, and nourished. Our minds, certainly, but our bodies too.
Let us as children of this magnificent GOD whom we serve, also take good care of our physical bodies. Let us draw close to GOD in prayer, but also in our daily routines. Let us pray to GOD to help us look after his temples (our bodies) here on earth.
Let us make better choices about what we put into our bodies, what we wear and how we treat the place where the Holy Spirit and indeed, Jesus live in us.
Prayer: Heavenly FATHER, I thank YOU for the body YOU gave me to live in. I thank YOU that I am filled with the Holy Spirit. I thank YOU that Jesus lives in my heart. Help me to keep my body pure and my mind focused on YOU today. I pray for all those reading this today that YOU would bless them in mind, in body, in soul and in the Holy Spirit. I pray all of this in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ. My Lord and Saviour, who lives - in me. Amen.
Stay wondrously GOD blessed today!
