Throughout Israel's history, prominent kings defiled God's place of worship. King Ahaziah relied on the false god Baalzebub. King Ahaz replaced God's altar and other important items with things that suited his particular taste. Such signs of disrespect were not taken lightly by God, and He destroyed each of these leaders.
Some believers today are tempted to trade their precious spiritual blessings so as to enjoy worldly pleasures. They are enticed by Satan to yield their bodies for the fulfillment of carnal desires. Perhaps worst of all, some people are deceived into discarding truths about God. Some even mold personal gods in their own image, according to their personal preferences.
You are God's temple. Honor Him by embracing His holiness and allowing Him to live through you.

Lord, I will live my life in a way that will glorify You.
