>I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your 
>love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your 
>name and your word.
>--Psalm 138:2
>New International Version
>
>THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
>For Christians, God's temple is one of two related things: either the 
>Christian's body (1 Cor. 6:19-20) or the group of people who make up his 
>Church (1 Cor. 3:16). Because of the flaws of the people in our churches, 
>many are hypercritical of them. But God's Church is precious to him and 
>should be to us. Anyone who destroys his church through division will be 
>utterly destroyed. God's faithfulness to his people is seen in his 
>preservation of the Church through all the ravages and persecutions of 
>history. But God is still the center of the Church and he alone is to be 
>exalted and the Church is still to be governed by his word and not just 
>their own will.
>
>MY PRAYER...
>Holy and matchless God, I praise you for your steadfast love and 
>faithfulness revealed in the preseveration of your Church through all of 
>history. I promise to cherish your Church and do all I can to help it grow 
>and mature to be more like Jesus, but I recognize that you and you alone 
>are to be exalted above all other things and that my church must never be 
>more important than your will revealed in your word. Give me the courage 
>to be true to you even if my church may not be. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.
