Day 8: Holy Anger

ALL IN: 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

January 15 - 28, 2024

Scripture: Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’ —Matthew 21:12-13 Devotional: We see Jesus in the temple. Jesus, one for the minoritized and disenfranchised, understands the danger that organized religion can cause. We each have a responsibility to uphold the integrity of the faith. We each have an obligation to recognize injustice and fight for what is most loving, for what is right! We are seeking God for the courage to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. We do not want displaced anger for anger’s sake, we want a Holy Anger that causes us to be change agents in the world and to promote love, in OUR OWN temples. Prayer/Reflection: Ask the Spirit how you can be an agent of change. Ask God, what brings Her unrest, so that you too can be bothered and pressed to do the good work in the earth.
