Not in use.
Don’t you just hate when you need to use the
restroom and you finally find it but there is a huge sandwich sign emblazoned
with the words “Not in Use.” A thought
enters my mind. I can run in and out
before anyone notices. Besides, it’s a
restroom, it is meant to be used. I am
almost always met at the entrance by a maintenance worker who directs me to the
restroom down the hall. This one is not
in use.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 What?
know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you,
which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20 For
ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your
spirit, which are God's.
Our bodies have been purchased by God at an enormous
price. We have been redeemed from sin
and eternal death by our Lord’s death on a cross. His blood was shed for our iniquities. At salvation, the Holy Spirit is imparted to
every believer. Considering what God has
done on our behalf, everything we say or do should give God glory. Our life should be a testimony to all and a
witness of God’s mercy and grace. When
someone in need shows up at your door step, will they see what should be
evident, one who glorifies God in their body?
Will God be able to use you? Never
let it be said that someone was turned away because at that moment your body
was “Not in use.” Make your Owner proud;
always be found in good working order.
