“For the temple of God is holy, and you are that temple” (1 Corinthians 3:17).
Within each of us, God desires to establish His temple—a sacred place where He is worshiped in spirit and in truth. It is not a physical space, but an inner space where true worship takes place: a surrendered, faithful, and consecrated heart. When you become deeply rooted in this inner worship, something powerful happens. Your life begins to transcend the limitations of time and space. You start to live for God, with God, and in God, in every thought, decision, and attitude.
But this kind of life only becomes possible when God has your whole heart. When you decide, with firmness and sincerity, to obey the light and the Spirit of God who dwells within you, and when your deepest desire is to be faithful to all the Lord’s commandments—even in the face of criticism, rejection, and opposition—then your existence is transformed into constant praise. Every act of faithfulness, every choice of obedience, becomes a silent song that rises to heaven.
This is the most important step in the life of any human being: to dedicate oneself wholeheartedly to the instructions the Creator has given us—His powerful Law, revealed by the prophets and confirmed by Jesus. It is not one option among many. It is the way. It is the answer. It is the only way to make your life a true temple, where God dwells, guides, purifies, and saves. -Adapted from William Law. Until tomorrow, if the Lord allows us.
Pray with me: Holy Father, I thank You for desiring to dwell in me, not as a visitor, but as Lord. May Your temple within my heart be a place that is clean, surrendered, and always filled with true worship. I want to seek You not with empty words, but with a life that honors You in spirit and in truth.
Lord, take my heart completely. May my obedience to Your powerful Law not depend on circumstances or the approval of others, but be the fruit of my sincere love for You. Teach me to live in faithfulness to each one of Your holy commandments, and may my entire life be transformed into praise to Your name.
Oh, Most Holy God, I worship and praise You for desiring to make me Your living temple. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a sacred fire that consumes all that is impure and transforms the soul into a holy dwelling. Your commandments are like continuous incense, rising from the obedient heart as living and pleasing worship to You. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
