The One Year Bible - Day 184

We are challenged today with what it means to restore the temple to its former glory. We are told in 1 Cor 6:19 that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. The obvious NT analogy of this fixing of the temple therefore is for us to restore our lives to the full glory of what God wants to do through us. One of the first things that is discovered as this happens is that the King is reminded of the Book of the Law. We would also find that we are led to the Bible as we seek to repair our relationship with God. The question is, I guess, how sad does it make us when we realise how short we are falling? Sad enough to tear our clothes?
