House Of Prayer

March 25, 2024

“He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.” Matthew 21:13 (ESV)

As we journey on this road to Holy Week, Jesus understands that the time of His earthly ministry is winding down. Jesus wants to take the time this week to make sure that He is doing everything necessary to prepare His disciples for His earthly departure. On this Monday of Holy Week, Jesus goes to the Temple and drives out all the money changers and those who sold in the Temple. The Scripture reminds us that, He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you make it a den of robbers.” I encourage you today to remember that the house of The Lord is where we come to make our petitions known to Him. However, there are times when we forget that we are in His house, and we turn it into something else. Lord forgive us if we have turned your house into anything but a house of prayer. Hear us when we pray and answer us when we call. Since I will always remember that it is His house, and His house will always be a place of prayer and peace, I have no doubt, “It’s My Year To Get My Thing From My God!”

Prayer:

Lord hear us when we pray and answer us when we cry unto you. Help us to make sure that your house remains a house of prayer. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
