Holy Temple Day 78
The Holy Spirit makes his home in us like a temple. A mother was sitting on a couch and her three year old came over and put her ear to her mothers chest. "What are you doing?" asked mother. "I'm listening for Jesus in your heart," replied the little girl. The mother let the little girl listen for a few moments and then asked, "Well, what do you hear?" "He's there," replied the little girl, "and it sounds to me like he's making coffee!" In many ways, we become a holy home or a temple for the Holy Spirit. Saint Paul wrote to the Corinthian Church, "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God."1
Frederick Faber who wrote, "Faith of our Fathers." exhibited a beautiful, holy and joyous Christian life. Tozer wrote of Faber,"There is nothing good, nothing holy, nothing beautiful, nothing joyous which he is not to his servants. No one need be downcast, for Jesus is the joy of heaven, and it is His joy to enter into sorrowful hearts."2 In the same way, through faith in Christ, this promise is fulfilled in us and we receive the Holy Spirit into the temple of our hearts. We do this through our faith, "That we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."3
