S - Scripture
1 Corinthians 3 v. 16 Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?
O - Observation
My BODY is NOT my TEMPLE - but Gods. How well are we keeping the temple? We get some instruction on temple upkeep in 1 Timothy 4 v. 7b-8, "Train yourself in Godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come." Temple upkeep requires spiritual discipline. We need to read the bible daily. Pray. Meditate on God's word. Fast. Follow God's word. Strive to follow his instructions. A key sin that wrecks the temple is immorality. 1 Corinthians 6 v. 18, 19b-20, "Shun immorality. Every other sin which man commits is outside of the body; but the immoral man sin against hi own body. .... You are not your own: you were bought with a price."
A - Application
How is my temple upkeep?
P - Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be a good steward of your temple, both spiritually and physically. Love Will
