My House shall be a house of prayer for all peoples

Morning: Psalm 69; Isaiah 56:1-8; Galatians 5:16-24
Evening: Psalm 73; Mark 9:2-13
What is our work in the world?  Here’s a hint, God said about Jesus, “This is my Son … Listen to him!” Soon after, Jesus challenged those who did evil in the temple, quoting Isaiah: “My house shall be a house of prayer for all peoples.”  Think, for a moment, of the earth as God’s ‘house’.  We, led by the Spirit, are agents on earth of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Imagine it! … God is rebuilding his house, using our hands. Let heaven and earth praise him!
