Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 6:12-20
Song: "Give Us Clean Hands"
In June of 2024, the National Park Service announced that the prairie dogs in Baldlands National Park were infected with "plague." Prairie dogs live in densely populated colonies. So the disease, often transmitted through the bites of infected fleas, can spread quickly through a large number of the population of prairie dogs. Plague can then be spread to other susceptible animals - and even to humans! One little flea bite can unleash a deadly epidemic.
When we sin, we often think that our small acts of immorality are not that big of a deal. We may convince ourselves that our private sins aren't really hurting anyone. We fail to recognize that as members of the body of Christ, our sins affect more than just ourselves. In fact, our immorality will likely be far-reaching, eventually affecting others in spiritually, emotionally, and physically damgaging ways.
Paul encourages us to "honor God with [our] bodies." We can avoid spreading an epidemic of immorality by remembering that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. We can honor our Lord and Savior by what we do with our bodies and what we put in our minds.
Father, when I am tempted to dishonor You, remind me that as a member of the bod of Christ, Your Spirit lives in me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
