Desecrating the Temple

2 Kings 16 [The Message]

Evil King Ahaz of Judah committed abominations before the Lord. He had his sons pass through the fire … ie. offering them as a sacrifice … and proceeded to strip valuable elements in the Temple furniture for bribes to other nations. He had little respect for what God wanted and came up with his own brand of worship.

It occurs to me that it can also be said that our own bodies, the temple of the Holy Spirit, can also be desecrated and misappropriated by how we neglect them or use them to please our flesh rather than taking good care of them. Of this, I am guilty. Given, I don’t have the energy others do to devote to conditioning, BUT, please pray for me. I need to DO SOMETHING. I need the willpower.
