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? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

My bible app is BibleGateway and this is their verse of the day.

I am leaving tomorrow to visit my sister in Maine and to lay my brother to rest in the family plot.

Normally I have at least two devotionals in works, one leading to the next. That is normal for me. With everything that is happening surrounding this trip I have struggled with my quiet time. That is the human part of life. We have not yet escaped our humanity.

So I am taking the easy way out and will post and comment on their verse of the day because it is the easy way out. It is not a cop out, just the reality of my condition at the moment.

“Do you not know?”

Those might be the words of a teacher or professor that sees their students might not have studied the lesson plans and are not prepared. It might have come after a test and the results are not acceptable. It could also appear in classroom discussions. What is important is that assignments have purpose and failure has consequences. If you are going to fail, the classroom is the best place to do it.

What are the consequences of not believing that the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts by faith?

The Holy Spirit is the third person of our Triune God. He is our God in person and is the manifest presence of the love of God towards His children. To deny Him is to say that God does not love us and that is a lie.

1 Corinthians 13:13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Faith is weakened and hope is fleeting if love cannot be felt.

The enemy would like to tell you that God doesn’t love you. Don’t buy into the lie.
