today’s verse ✨

“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

[fierysword]

1 In the Eternal One I take refuge. How can you say to my soul, "Fly away, like a bird, to the mountains": 2 There is no easy escape from the inner attacks of darkness. The arrows of fear pierce my heart. 3 The foundation of my self-esteem is destroyed. How can I be upright, or do what I need to do? 4 Yet God is within my body, which is Her holy temple. She also dwells in the heavens and sees us, tests us all. 5 Though She lets those with integrity endure many trials, Her soul hates those who love violence. 6 She will send fire and brimstone and a scorching wind to destroy the despair that attacks me. 7 For God is loving and just, and always does what is right. Those who act with integrity shall surely behold Her face.

Psalm 11 (feminine translation from Swallow's Nest: A Feminine Reading of the Psalms by Marchiene Rienstra)

Possible uses of this psalm:

1. Pray against inner enemies like despair, fear, and a sense of worthlessness

2. Triumph over adversities

3. Righteous retribution against foes

𝐀: “…No one can come to Me, unless The Father who sent Me draws them to Me. And only those who accept Me as I truly am are of My body, for The Truth resides within them and is revealed by their works. Yes, even these stumble in their walk, for they are but flesh.

Yet I am He who searches the hearts and minds, I know My own; I know whose love is steadfast, whose faith is unmoving...

And this is the True Church My people long for, the remnant which now is and is yet to come...

For it is not found outwardly in the world, but inwardly, in the temple of God...

I am The Lord.”

The Temple of God

Peter describes Christians as living stones being built into a building (1 Peter 2)—a Temple—so that the church is composed of each one of them. Held tight by the strength of those around them, built on the Cornerstone of Jesus, and the foundation of the apostles and prophets.

In John’s Revelation we see that the people are the Holy-of-Holies (Revelation 21) where the presence of God dwells. We are told individually that we are the Temple of God (1 Corinthians 3) as well as corporately, because God’s Spirit dwells in us.

The Church is the Temple, the patterned on the Heavenly Temple, the design for the cosmos. We are where the worship of God happens. There are particular rituals required for his worship, and particular offices needed to keep it orderly. More broadly we expect the Church to operate on the principle as in heaven so on earth, the Church is where we encounter the heavens in behaviour, in teaching, in relationships, and in direct encounter with God in Christ by his Spirit.

Christians are the real Temple of God! Jerusalem is not the City of God! the earthly city of Jerusalem no longer has any importance.

"And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting. 

And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.

And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic."

Athena, goddess of wisdom, and all-powerful, being the only person that Annabeth could call on for help; being so cruel that she would be complicit in her daughter's death just out of spite.

Percy, age 12, weak and dying, having told Annabeth they could never be friends; not only sacrifices himself to save Annabeth's life without a minute's thought, but does it without her having to ask for help.

Where Can God Be Found?

So where is God and/or the Kingdom of God, if God is not in physical temples, statues, pictures, paintings icons, or in famous people? Luke 17:20-21 As Jesus said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you” Romans 8:9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit…

Looking and Finding Him Right Here

Have you ever looked for something that was right in front of you all the time? I could be wearing my glasses, and be looking for my glasses. I could be looking for my keys and they could be right on the counter in front of me. We could be looking for the rain to stop and miss the rainbow God sent. We could be taken with the brilliance of the star and miss the baby in the manger. We could be…

"Remember that the heart, not the head, is the temple of God. Spiritual and religious ideas are matters of the heart - not the head. If our hearts are filled with the presence of God, then our minds will also find enlightenment."
