Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (NIV)
I found an old grungy pot in the garage today, Lord, and I think I discovered a spiritual lesson here. I tried to clean up that pot by soaking it, scrubbing it, and hosing it off. I finally had to chuck it, because it was too grimy and too ugly for use.
Please do not let me be like that dirty, unusable pot, Lord. May I always remember that my body is a temple of Your Holy Spirit. I desire to be a clean vessel—to honor You with all of me, including my body.
Questions for Pondering…
What are some ways in the past that I have dishonored God with my body?
What are some ways I can honor God with my body in the future?
