Your Temples

 Holy Father,

Let us see you in your temple...and Father, the temple now is us. We want to see evidence that you abide here in these earth bound places, that your mercy is extended to us. That you abide with your people and where your Presence abides is holy, sacred.

Let us be your temples today. Places of worship, of adoration, of utter gratefulness and praise. Let us lift holy hands and fall prostrate and dance in the streets because of what you have done. How you have saved us. How you pulled us out of the pit. Thank you for saving us from the ugliness that is in us. Thank you that you change it. You transform it.

Call us out, Father. Call us out into the places we need to be crying and making way for you. We are the Elijahs and the John the Baptists today.  Show us how to make the paths straight. Show us today how to build up the highways that others may find you.

We bless you today. We bless you for your salvation...for saving us from much we are not even aware of because you spared us. Thank you for saving us from the ugliness that is in us. Thank you that you change it. You transform it.

Call us out, Father. Call us out into the places we need to be crying and making way for you. We are the Elijahs and the John the Baptists today...show us how to make the paths straight. Show us today how to build up the highways that others may find you.

I praise you for we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Our temples are unique. One of a kind structures being erected to bring you glory. Oh, please do not allow us to inhibit in any way this process and progress. Help us to get out of the way...to make room and way for you.

Father, enable us to follow in your wake. Let us be filled with the urgency of the Gospel. This good news of Jesus; it’s the best news. The greatest news, and I pray we would speak it. Teach it. Live it. Pray it. Share it. Show us how. Teach us how to implement these gifts you have so generously given to the advancement of your kingdom. Father, there is nothing today I want more. Use our teaching, our writing, our encouraging, our praying and our loving and our failing and promote your kingdom...lift up your Son in us I pray this morning.

Amen and amen.
