John 2
Do we have passion for God’s house? What is God’s house, where does He live? Is it in something we can make from brick and mortar or is it something more? God is omnipresent but He dwells among His people, we saw that in the Old Testament with Moses and how the veil separated the Holy from humanity so that He may live among them and we see it in the New Testament as Jesus walked, talked, loved, healed, taught, and ultimately laid down His life so that we could commune with God and He with us once again, as it was in the garden before sin took hold. Passion… God gave everything from the beginning of time to be part of our lives so when Jesus saw the unclean in that holy place He was consumed with it. How can we, being His followers be any less passionate about the condition of our hearts, the place where God dwells?
Lord, sometimes I forget who you are and lose sight of your passion for people. You are the Ancient of Days Daniel chapter seven talks about and you are my friend. You are king David’s Strong tower and Paul’s burning desire and Peter’s companion and teacher. Teach me to love people more and support my wife and children in all situations so that they may know you better, teach me to be more like Jesus today, amen.
