Ephesians 2:21 -22
in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing
into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together
into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 3:16
Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's
Spirit dwells in your midst?
1 Timothy 3:15 if
I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's
household, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of
the truth.
1 Corinthians 3:9 For
we are co-workers in God's service; you are God's field, God's building.
Have you ever noticed new aches, pains, squeaks and creaks
as you age? Buildings age and show the wear and tear with age. If an angel of
the Lord were to ask directions to your house would he pass mansions, posh 5
star hotels , cathedrals and mega-churches to the edge of town to find your
shanty? Imagine the shock and surprise of the modern day Pharisee and Sadducee's
when the angel singles out you/your shanty and boldly claims it.
We plod, blunder and stumble through our faith walk; we continually to question how God can trust so
much in so little, so ill-equipped, so inadequate. What we fail to realize and
embrace is that the Holy Spirit resides and abides in such a place as a matter
of choice, not a matter of happenstance or desperation. Inhabitation is a
matter of freewill, predetermination and predestination. Who is called is also
equipped; we must never feel inadequate because we will be prepared despite the
appearance or conditions.
