I had an incident yesterday that really made me think of the saying WWJD. I had a person yell at me, belittle me and condemn me for no reason at all. I apologized for making them angry, even though I did nothing wrong. I assured them that in the future I would do my best not to offend them again. Let me tell you that without God in my heart I would not have been able to do this. My first reaction was to rise up and defend myself. The flesh wanted to yell back and tell them hey I did nothing wrong! Thankfully, I had been feeding my spirit regularly so it was stronger than my flesh. Which brings another saying to mind, you are what you eat? If I had not been reading my bible regularly and praying on a daily basis, then I would not have had the strength to be like Christ. The bible tells us Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Cor 5:17 (KJV). As with any new thing if you don’t take care of it and keep it polished, it will dry rot and become useless. I have heard it said that it is better for a house to be lived in rather than have it sit empty. That goes for our house as well. Our body is a temple of the Lord. If we don’t dust out the cob webs and open the window to our soul, we risk it getting dusty and cluttered with sin. God can’t dwell where there is sin. So the next time you are cleaning or polishing something you love remember to do the same to your temple.
