Day 15 – A vessel for Your presence

1 Kings 8:13 “… a house of habitation, a settled place for You to dwell in forever.”

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?”

Let’s consider our position as believers in Christ, having received the Holy Spirit, and having the freedom to approach God Almighty at any time. What a privilege to know Him intimately. This is what He promised when He said, “I will never leave you.” He promised us a Helper and Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, who would eternally make His dwelling in us.

Moses built a tabernacle for the Lord to abide in, which they carried with them for 40 years. David brought the Ark of the Covenant, containing the Lord’s presence, back to Jerusalem. Solomon built Him a temple to dwell in. Then God became Man. And how precious that we, who have been washed by the blood, are now the temple of the Holy Spirit!

And if you have not received Christ’s gift of salvation, if you desire to also be His child and the house of His Spirit, you may have it! All you need to do is believe with your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord. Receive Him into your life. Those who call on the name of the Lord will be saved!

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the fulfilment of Your promise – the Holy Spirit – Who is Your eternal presence in my life! You are faithful and good! I will never be alone. Thank you for Your presence that changes me, and draws people to You. Amen.
