Lord, I am eaten up with zeal for your House
John 2:16–17 (NJB): Take all this out of here and stop using my Father’s house as a market.’ 17 Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: I am eaten up with zeal for your house.
When Jesus saw the merchants and sellers in the Synagogue, he became enraged. He does not want his church to function as a marketplace. He desires that his church be a place of prayer. He became enraged and angrily threw everything that these folks were selling down. We must be zealous about the Church of God. Psalm 69:9 (NJB): for I am eaten up with zeal for your house, and insults directed against you fall on me.’ It is critical that we show our Lord respect. Be calm and pray hard for what is bothering us when we receive insults or contempt from our church or community.
Lord, grant us the grace to keep your house, which is our heart, pure and holy in order to make it a home for you.
