The Stones

1 Peter 2:5  Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house.

 Samuel Longfellow, clergyman and hymn writer wrote:
One holy church of God appears
Through every age and race,
Unwasted by the lapse of years,
Unchanged by unchanging place.

We are the lively stones the verse in 1 Peter 2:5 is referring to. Whether here on earth or in heaven we are part of God's temple. Therefore, we must make sure we surrender and allow God to work in us so we will fit in the temple.

Prayer:  Lord God, you know our hearts, make us right with you. Amen
