THE LORD’S HOUSE!

Matthew 21:13 – Devotional

Matthew 21:13

“And He said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves.”

I recall an incident that occurred many years ago. Following the evening service I was standing in the center aisle of the church speaking with the pastor and a friend.

Suddenly my friend’s young son came toward us doing somersaults. My friend was shocked and began to apologize to the pastor. I will never forget as the pastor responded; “Let him alone. It’s time we see some life in this church!”

He was just kidding (I think), but sometimes I feel like many of our churches are congregations of the frozen chosen. I am not advocating undisciplined displays, but there needs to be a sense of life and vitality in our worship.

If Jesus came into our services today, would He be pleased or would we be find Him calling us to remember that we are in His presence and thus we need to be holy for He is holy! May the words of our mouth and meditation of our heart always be acceptable to Him!

Blessings dear hearts walk with God today and become a blessing!
