The Temple of God

I was reading in 2 Chronicles a few days ago, about the Temple that King Solomon built to God. The temple was very elaborate, with precious stones, gold and other quality materials. It was an opulent beautiful Temple, truly fit for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. The building took time and talents from many skilled men. I remembered the scripture 1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple …? It is true, if the Spirit of God lives in me, I am His Temple. Just like the physical Temple was decorated with precious stones and gold; It’s okay for me to wear beautiful clothes and jewelry, and make myself pretty! What a revelation for me! I don’t have to feel bad for looking sharp, wearing makeup and accessories. I am the Temple of God, when people see me they will see the beauty, the opulence, the glory of God through the way I present myself.
