1 Corinthians 6: 19-20 (NIV-UK)

19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honour God with your bodies.

When are we spiritual?

Are you spiritual at church? Are you spiritual in nature? Are you spiritual when you go on a run? (Lots of running in this week’s passages!)

Now you might say, “actually, I don’t like running, I don’t like plants that make you itch or midges, and, well, I don’t really go to church.”

Now I know a lot of people that would say yes to all those things. And I know people that could talk about all sorts of other ways they feel connected to the divine. But that’s not exactly what I’m getting at.  

When are we spiritual?  

All the time.

You were created by God. You were created by the divine. You are the idea of the Holy One. You are spiritual whatever you do and whatever you feel. 

You can feel far away from God, but you can’t actually shut the door on God and be on the other side. Even our bodies aren’t separate from the Holy Spirit. The connotation is that our bodies themselves are holy; Temples of the Holy Spirit.  

Would we act differently if we thought God was with us everywhere we went today? Would we feel anxiety or freedom if we knew God was with us everywhere we went today?  

Prayer:

God, today I welcome you into every aspect of my day. From waking, to grooming, to eating, to driving, to riding on the train, to working or going to school. I even invite you into the moments in which I’m not perfect, and don’t seem to have control. I’m spiritual all the time, because you are my creator and source. Throughout this week and these readings bless me with the reminder that I cannot escape you. Indeed you are with me wherever I go.
