"Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body."
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
How's God's temple doing today? What you put into your body and what you do with it is what you will get out. I think every Christian knows this scripture, but have you really given it thought? We are quick to point out the person with a million tattoos or the woman who is promiscuous or the excessively obese person and find fault but what about you? Are you eating as you should? Are you living as you should? Are your using your body to please God? I'm guilty like everyone else. I eat the most greasy foods. I drink the most harsh drinks at times. I wear myself down with work, school, personal issues and various other stresses. And sometimes I do things that I shouldn't. Not only should your outside be maintained but also the inside. Sometimes we all need a spiritual cleansing. If we can wash our cars or keep our houses serviced and clean, then why can't we do the same with ourselves. Life is all about knowing better and doing better. It may be time for an overdue tune-up and time to clean-up and maintain His temple!
