Tuesday Devo

Read Luke 19:45-48. This is the 2nd time in Jesus' ministry when he goes into the temple and cleans house. He did it early in his ministry. (John 2) He does it hear as a final reminder before he goes to the cross. His passion for his father's house is quite intense. I wonder what he would clean out my church?

"My house is a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves." How many times do we take something that should be all about God and turn it into all about us. We go from asking - what can I give to what can I get.

v. 47-48 remind us of Jesus' words - "I lay my life down - no one takes it from me." John 10:18

questions

1) If Jesus' passion for holiness is a 10 - what is yours?

2) Ask the Lord to show you what you have been turning into being more about you than him? Where have you been taking - not giving?
