1 Cor. 3:16-17 ...you... are God's temple and .. God's Spirit lives in us...God's temple is sacred, and you are that temple.

'Divine Presence' is a great anniversary gift idea for men. The design reflects one form of sacred architecture, a circular dome on a rectangular base.  The dome represents heaven.  The base represents earth.  Their coming together is a place of Divine Presence.  The temple is surrounded by streets paved with gold.  It is the source of a spring that produces a channel of living water that nourishes everything within its reach.

As Heaven (blue sapphire) invades earth (gold foundation) you remember that you are a temple for  His “Divine Presence” offering your bodies as a living sacrifice for God .

The inspiration for the men’s wedding band featured here is taken from St. Paul’s well known remark that our bodies are spiritual temples.

With this in mind, the basic style of the ring reflects a common traditional style of church building in which an oval or round dome (representing heaven) rests on a square or rectangular base (representing earth).  This configuration suggests a space where heaven and earth meet and becomes a locus of divine presence.  The upper shanks of the ring have depressed centers suggesting a path for the water that flows from the temple.  As you may know, biblical visions of the new temple often include a wellspring of water that came up from underneath the temple and flowed outward to the “tender branch that became a majestic cedar.”

This ring will be of interest to anyone who would like their ring to truly express things that are important to them.  And for some, it may be an enjoyable and easy way to share with others what this ring means to you.

When you wear this ring for yourself and perhaps on behalf of another, you will be expressing among other things your hope and a faith that the most Holy Spirit, as St. Paul says has taken up residence in you, as in a temple, and that deep within this “heart temple” the spirit will cause a wellspring of living water to emerge that will always nourish everything in and around you, turning “a barren land like unto the garden of Eden”.

The human body has been called (St. Paul) a temple, a residence for the spirit.  This ring design, Divine Presence reflects this vision.
