Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

QT 4 Oct 18, 1 Cor 6:19-20, We are actual temples of the living God


1 Corinthians 6:19–20 (ESV) — 19 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, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

NOTE: I do know, but do I live it? Do we really consider that the Holy Spirit is residing in our body at all times? Do we meditate on what it means to be a temple? In our case, our temple is where God resides. In the OT, God's name resided in the temple. If I really believed that, it would affect my decisions. I would want the temple to be pure and holy at all times. I would want my life to reflect God's name in a good way to everyone I meet. And I certainly desire that, although I do fall short at times.

PRAYER: Father I want to glorify you with my body and my life. I want my life to reflect your name in a good way to those around me. Remind throughout the day today that I am a temple of the Holy Spirit. Everything I do, is done with you.
