"Beloved, do not be surprised that a trial by fire is occurring among you, as if something strange were happening to you." 1 Peter 4:12
"Then he taught them saying, "Is it not written: 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples'? But you have made it a den of thieves."" Mark 11:17
I had the opportunity to be near a forest recently, it is interesting to see new growth after a fire. We were made to worship God and our own free will creates challenges for us. Is it possible that God is doing a little house cleaning? His words: "Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" 1 Corinthians 3:16. What a blessing to have a little house cleaning going on, not comfortable but yet the growth is beautiful. Relax, God is the master builder, He is just reminding you what you were created for. You can deny it but He won't stop until He is has restored the temple.
Dear Heavenly Father, I love seeing the new growth in the forest, I thank You for these opportunities. Help us see that during trials in our lives, You are preparing the soil to glorify the Father. Bless this morning's meeting, may we be Super Sensitive to Your Holy Spirit. Prayers for healing of a friend, help them see the good that You created and the joy that they spread. In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
