Day 339..."A vision of a temple...more earthly kingdoms...take care of the soul"

Ezekiel has a detailed vision of a new temple. In chapters forty and forty-one there are meticulous descriptions of every side of the temple. This glorious detail of temple and worship will be our focus for the rest of our reading in Ezekiel. Daniel, in chapter eleven, continues to invision earthly kingdoms who strive to be a gods. He continues to write about the folly of earthly gods and kingdoms.

Paul teaches about steering clear of false teachings..."Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come." Our bodies are given to work in tandem with our our soul to prepare for Heaven. The promise of taking care of our soul is far more productive than our body.
Paul also encourages young persons not to think too little of themselves because of their youth..."Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." Paul's teachings are so practical. I Timothy is a great Book to address the obvious needs of our lives. These teachings of faith also make good common sense! Or is this just the eyes of faith in a world that sometimes can miss the obvious?
