Every Corner Of My Life

1 Corinthians 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

Wow, what a scripture! If I were reading this with a good friend of mine he would say, "Love it!" Don't you see it? It's right there in this scripture. We now are the temple of God. The Spirit of God dwells inside of us. That is enough to make even the most dignified Christian shout.

In the Old Testament the Bible tells us of the Tabernacle and the children of Israel. The Tabernacle and Temple of the Old Testament spoke of the place of God on earth. A place for His presence. He told them to build this in order for Him to be with His people. In those days the smoke of the incense filled the Holy of Holies to shield the presence of God. The Glory of God would fill the house in such a way that the ministers couldn't even stand in His presence. Can you imagine the presence of God that strong? So strong that it fills up every corner and area of the room?

Well that's what the scripture this morning is telling us. It says that we are now the temple and tabernacle of God. God has chosen to place the Holy Spirit inside of us. Inside to fill every corner and area of our lives. We should pray that God's presence be so overwhelming in us this morning. So graciously that He would remove all sin. So powerful that He would guide our every step. Don't you know that God lives in you? He dwells inside of the believer! The glory of God is shielded by this flesh, but as the song says, "This robe of flesh I'll drop and rise, to seize the everlasting prize."

Thank you God for dwelling in me. Not only have you saved me from Hell but you have chosen to live inside of me. Thank you for the fellowship that we have every day and every hour. I don't know how I could be nearer my God than we are right now. Wow!
