Temple of the Holy Spirit

Do you like to try things that are really hard?

Sometimes we might not want to try something really hard because we are not sure if we will be able to accomplish the task or not. No one likes to fail, so sometimes we don't want to even make the attempt. It is hard when you doubt your ability.

But it can be hard when you don't doubt your ability, as well. Sometimes we are a little too sure of ourselves and this may not make a good impression on the people around us, whether we are successful or not.

There is a third option that I would like for you to consider instead of the first two:

1. Thinking too little of myself (I'm not good enough)
2. Thinking too highly of myself (Of course I'm good enough!)
3. Thinking about God within us (The focus is on God, not me)

This is how Paul wanted the Corinthians to approach some hard situations.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20New International Version (NIV)

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 honor God with your bodies.

It is awesome to rely on the God who is your source of life inside of you, giving you the ability to accomplish all that he would have you do!
