A Christian Meditation with Psalm 48:9

Psalm 139 says God intimately and lovingly created every part of your body. Your body is a good creation of God. Yes, we are all in a kind of exile in a fallen creation in bondage to death and decay. And that’s true of our body. But it’s also true that God has an eternal purpose for the redemption of your body (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%208%3A23&version=NIV (Rom 8:23)).

And that cell gets its very life from God’s Spirit. This is true for everybody whether they realize it or not. But let’s take some time to meditate on this and feel this truth right now using your biblically guided imagination. Psalms 48:9 (NIV)  Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love. 1 Cor 6:19 gives this meditation a whole new meaning…“your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you.” As we meditate on God’s unfailing love within the new temple of his Spirit, our body made holy by Jesus, let your attention run through your entire body like a wave of imagination and meditation. Feel your whole body in its totality, as a whole bod
