“Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”
—1 Corinthians 3:16, NASB

Reflection
God no longer dwells in a temple made by human hands; He has made His people His temple. Yet the spirit of self-exaltation says, “I will ascend, I will exalt, I will be like the Most High.” This is the heart of Satan, and it is the heart of a culture that worships self above the Creator. In these last days, we must guard the altar of our hearts, refusing to let “me, me, me” take the place that belongs only to God.

Application

• Ask the Holy Spirit to expose every place self has taken the throne.
• Offer your heart again as a temple of worship, humility, and love.

Prayer
Lord Jesus, cleanse the altar of our hearts. Deliver us from self-exaltation, teach us to worship You alone, and fill Your temple with the fragrance of surrendered love. Amen.
