Prayer Thoughts for the Heart

When I was growing up, I heard this saying, because we cleaned our house a little more in the spring than when we did our weekly cleaning. We would also go to the church the first Saturday in May and clean the church and cemetery. With this thought in mind, let’s think about cleaning our Temple.

Scripture says that a Believer’s Body is the Temple of The Holy Spirit,
(2 Corinthians 6:16 NIV). God bought and paid for us when Jesus died on the Cross. When we accept Jesus’ death and resurrection and thus make Him our Lord and Savior, The Holy Spirit lives in us. Since this is true, we should keep The Holy Spirit’s dwelling place nice and clean and holy.

We should never make out like our Temple is clean when it isn’t. When I would sweep things under the rug and my mother found out about it, she did n’t like it and I had to go do it over again. The same is true with our Temple, we should not try to keep some things under the rug or hide in a closet. Others might not know about it, but God knows and He will not like it.

We should love Jesus enough to want to have a clean mind, a pure heart, and a good soul. The Holy Spirit is our teacher and helps us understand the wisdom teachings of Jesus. When we have godly wisdom, we will have a heart of joy, a mouth of integrity, hands that want to serve others, and our feet will take us along the right path. Spring into action and clean your Temple, you will be glad you did and so will God and others.

Have a Blessed Day,
