Daily Wisdom..."The Temple of the Heart"

"Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? Hath not my hand made all these things?"  Acts 7:49-50

The Christian does not go to the temple to worship. The Christian takes the temple with him or her.  Jesus lifts us beyond the building and pays the human body the highest compliment by making it His desirable dwelling place, the place He longs to meet with us.  Even today He is willing to overturn the tables in our hearts that make themselves a market place for lust, greed and a desire for wealth.  Ones limitations and success in God will be fueled by the expectations and longings of their own heart and soul; what the heart dwells on, the body acts upon.  Man must be aware of his limitations, but know that where they end God's strength begins (1 Cor 4:10). You don't need to know how to build something for God, He has already built the dwelling; He's just waiting for you to invite Him in.
