Scripture: And he entered the temple
and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying
to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be a house of prayer'; but you
have made it a den of robbers." Luke 19:45-46
Reflection: We
are so often sold to a particular idea or a thought, a particular philosophy or
mindset, a particular sinful bondage or habits of sin.
It
is only when we allow God’s Holy Spirit that we become temples of God or
temples of the Holy Spirit. When we become God’s temple, then Jesus once again
takes the whip of God’s word to drive out that which we are sold into.
Whereas
those who reject the Holy Spirit which they have received in Baptism either
make adjustments to that which they are sold into, for peace or they will go
help themselves with some New Age methodologies in order to attain peace.
Choice: Either self help or Jesus Help!
Prayer: Lord,
I need your help to enjoy peace. Help me with your Holy Spirit as I read your
word and ponder on it to attain that peace which only you can give. (Jn.14:27)
