My Father’s House

Scripture: John 2:17 His disciples remembered that it is written, ”Zeal for your house will consume me.”

Observation: What is God’s house? Is it the church? Our body is called his temple or is it anywhere we worship him? I know the church is special, Jesus gave his life for her and He tells us to love our wives as He loves the church. The church needs to be Holy and sanctified to God’s work. When people visit a church they should feel the love of God surrounding them and to represent the goodness of God in his people.

Application: To represent the church in a way that is honoring to God, all the time. I need to act and speak in a way that others will know my love for Christ and our Father’s house. Treat the church body with the respect God’s house deserves.

Prayer: Dear Lord show me how to honor you with my body. May I help in bringing it up and making it holy in glory and honor to you, my Lord.
