Day 24- Flying in the light; We are the temple of the holy spirit

Day 24-We are the temple of the Holy Spirit

Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?  If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy him; for God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple. (1 Corinthians 3:16-17) Our hearts host a dwelling place for our Father to live. We must feed our spirit every day for prosperous growth. What feeds our spirit? We feed it with whatever our minds dwell on for prolonged periods of time. If we are anticipating fear in our life in any shape or form we are allowing that fear to manifest into our spirit and take over. When we are filled with praise and thanksgiving we allow those seeds to grow and develop more joy in our everyday life. It is hard to always keep your focus on God and not get tangled up in despair, but if we are getting up every day and making a conscious effort to pray and read God’s word we are creating a foundation that is solid and much more difficult to break at the sign of trouble. Our spirit, much like our bodies needs fuel to run properly. If you feed it junk, it is going to run like junk. A nourished soul is like am ambrosial rainforest, rich in pigment and presenting the essence of beauty to the world.

Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" –Matthew 4:4

Lord, Feed our spirits today as we read this and pray, fill them with abundant joy and thankfulness for You. Show us that with Your word we can prosper and grow every day into beautiful women of Christ. Let us make our hearts pure and free from fear so that You have the healthiest and most delightful dwelling place we can build for You.
