Scripture: And as he taught them, he said, “Is it not written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations’ ? But you have made it ‘a den of robbers.’ ” Mark 11:17 NIV Application: It's amazing that Jesus included the term "for all nations" as He cleaned the Jewish Temple of corruption. His message is for everyone, especially in these tense times. We should spend less time watching the news and more time praying, reading, meditating, and speaking on scripture. With the technology in our hands, each of us can encourage the scared, converse with the lonely, and share with the needy. We can show the world how worshipping God is to be positive, fearless, and a light "for all nations." We are the modern temples Jesus cleaned. Now, instead of allowing the merchandising world to use us as shortcuts toward more hatred, bigotry, and hoarding, we confidently allow the light of Jesus to shine through us. Prayer: We offer ourselves as cleaned temples through which Your uplifting message may flow, Jesus. Amen. Comments are closed.
