Is your temple good enough? That was the question ringing in my mind when I read the account of the dedication of the Lord's temple by Solomon in 1Kings 8. The Lord came to dwell in the temple as a cloud and the priests were not able to continue with their service. Solomon was elated that indeed he had built a magnificent edifice for the Lord to dwell in.
Paul, in 1 Corinthians 6:19 (NLT) stated : "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 don't belong to yourself." Our bodies are temples for God to dwell in.
How do we prepare this place? Can we, like Solomon say that we have a magnificent temple? Today, may we be more careful of what we think, say or do. May we desire to keep this temple fit for the indwelling of the Lord. May our temples be good enough.
