A Cherished Place

Good Morning in Jerusalem at the Feast of the Passover. Our sandals got dusty during the walk from the Mount of Olives into the city. A day later we find (Mark 11:15-19) that "...Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple. He overturned the tables of the money changers, and the seats of those who sold doves...* He charged them all: ' My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all nations. But you money changers have made it a den of thieves.' " 

Well, as you can imagine, the scribes and chief priests (who profited some from all that inappropriate commercial activity) were upset at Jesus. They set about trying to think of a way to destroy Jesus "because all the people were astonished at his teaching." (And were ignoring them, the religious big wigs.)Are WE careful to keep our place of worship as a place of prayer? 

Are we careful in our homes to cherish a place of quietness and a time of prayer/a place and time reserved for communion with the Lord? Let's be sure we do. He is our Peace, Hope and Joy. Love you.

Whose name is at the very top of the list for a business, a corporation, a charity organization? Yes, you're right when you say: "the CEO." Who is at the top of your list? Paul writes this to the Philippians:"God desires that your attitude be like the attitude Jesus had. Although he is the Son of God, he did not cling to his rights, but humbled Himself and appeared in human form. And, in human form, he humbled himself even further by dying on a cross. BECAUSE he humbled himself under the shadow of mighty hand of GOD, the LORD RAISED CHRIST UP TO THE HEIGHTS OF HEAVEN, AND GAVE HIM THE NAME THAT IS ABOVE EVERY NAME! So that, at the Name of JESUS, every/ that is:EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO JESUS CHRIST, BOTH ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN. And EVERY tongue will confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD, to the GLORY OF GOD THE FATHER. Be very careful, Brothers and Sisters, always to honor Christ in word and deed." Wow! EVERY KNEE to bow and EVERY tongue to confess that JESUS CHRIST ...
