YOU ARE WONDERFULLY MADE TO GLORIFY GOD

January 23

hild of God, look at your hands (please stop and do that). Notice the opposing thumb to the fingers. How did you get that arrangement? I knew that you would be able to grasp things and hold things much easier with the opposing thumb. It works doesn't it? I tested it to make sure that it would bless you in your endeavors in life. Now look at your feet for a moment (please stop and do that). I am in your feet. My power to allow you to walk and move about is released to your brain which in turn signals your feet to walk or kick or stop and kneel. Kneel? Oh yes, look at your knees--- feel them (please do so, it will bless you to do so). They were made to make walking easier. However, I also intended for you to use your knees to allow you to humble yourself before your Father by kneeling in surrender and praying. Aren't your knees a blessing? They can be if you use them for going about the work of the Master, and bowing on them to pray toward heaven. Are you thinking about that now? It is good for you if when you finish reading this devotional to bow on your knees and thank the God of Heaven, the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ for your life and soon coming good health. Now, think about your brain. It is the center of processing your thoughts. It is far superior to any super computer that I have created and inspired men and women to fashion of metal and plastics. Your brain is my gift to you. You should place your hand on the top of your head and lift your voice of thanksgiving and praise for such as gift! (Why not really do that now!) With your brain, you can command your body to deny itself evil and agree to walk in love, forgiveness, purity, blessings, and with your brain, you can decide, with the help of the Holy Spirit to walk out of any darkness and into my light for your life. What a blessing! Will you do that? Good! Now repeat this please, "My body is the temple of the Holy Spirit!" (I Corinthians 6:19). It is you know! I dwell in my Temple. I dwell in your heart when you are a true believer in the Lord Jesus. Child, you are greatly blessed!!

Prayer

---

Father, you are such a blessing to me. You gave me a body, mind and soul so that I could surrender them to you. Upon that surrender, indwell me with the Holy Spirit, protect me from evil, and guide me into the paths of love and blessing which are really good for me. Father, on the last day of my life I plan to lay down this body and its parts in rest, to be resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit to enter a "heavenly body" prepared by your hands. I look forward to that day. In the meantime, Lord, teach me to surrender my body to you and all its functions to glorify you in every way, in Jesus’ Holy name, amen!
