Passion for your house has consumed me, and the insults of those who insult you have fallen on me. Psalm 69:9 (NLT)
The disciples of Jesus remembered this Scripture quoted in John 2:17. It was in response to what Jesus had done in entering and driving out from the temple those who had turned it into a market- John 2:13-17.Today we are the temple or house of God – 1 Corinthians 3:16.Passion for God’s house is the conviction and devotion to glorifying God in our bodies. It’s born out of knowing He bought us, we are His and so everything we do with our bodies should bring Him honor – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20.Your body’s strengths, appetites, and desires should not be used in the world’s way of just satisfying one’s own selfish urges but rather in a godly way that fulfills the intent and purpose of God who gave you those passions and longings.
