The Hidden Journey That Matters Most

It’s easy to think that faith is about going places: to church, to meetings, to events. And yes, the Bible says, "I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord." (Psalm 122:1)
Going to worship together is important. Being part of a faith community lifts our hearts and connects us to God’s family.

But Scripture also reminds us of something even deeper:
"What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" (1 Corinthians 6:19)

The real house of God is also inside of you.

The Inward Journey

The early Christians didn’t just meet in beautiful churches. They knew that the real work of faith happened inside the heart.
The Psalmist rejoiced in going to the outer temple, but Christ showed us that through Him, the greatest temple is within us.

Modern science backs up this inward journey too. Studies show that daily practices like quiet prayer, meditation on Scripture, and slow, deep breathing help rewire the brain. They lower anxiety, sharpen focus, and even strengthen emotional resilience.

It’s like training your soul to hear God’s voice through the noise of the world.

Why This Matters for Christian Professionals

You already live a busy life. Deadlines, meetings, travel, constant communication—it’s easy to start feeling like you are losing yourself.
The world pushes you outward. But healing comes from going inward.

Taking time to connect with God inside of you is not selfish. It’s the only way to stay whole in a world that constantly demands more.

How to Start Your Inward Journey

  • Daily Prayer: Set aside 5–10 minutes first thing in the morning to sit quietly with God. Even a short prayer like the Jesus Prayer (“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me”) can open your heart.

  • Breath and Scripture: As you breathe slowly, repeat a verse like, "Be still, and know that I am God." (Psalm 46:10)

  • Remember the Temple: Throughout your day, remind yourself: "My body is a temple. God dwells in me."

  • Make Church Visits Deeper: When you go to church, don't just go outwardly. Go inwardly too. Let it be a meeting of your soul with the living God inside you.

Final Thought

The true temple is not just a building—it is your heart.
God invites you to go deeper, to find Him dwelling within you, and to build your life from the inside out.

The outward journey brings you to church.
The inward journey brings you to Christ.
Both matter.
But only one leads to lasting peace.
