In the temple courtyard he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves. Others were sitting at tables exchanging money.So Jesus made a whip out of ropes. He chased all the sheep and cattle from the temple courtyard. He scattered the coins of the people exchanging money. And he turned over their tables.He told those who were selling doves,“ Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!”His disciples remembered what had been written. It says,“ My great love for your house will destroy me.”( Psalm 69:9)

I’m asking the Lord for only one thing. Here is what I want. I want to live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life. I want to look at the beauty of the Lord. I want to worship him in his temple.When I’m in trouble, he will keep me safe in his house. He will hide me in the safety of his holy tent. He will put me on a rock that is very high.Then I will win the battle over my enemies who are all around me. At his holy tent I will offer my sacrifice with shouts of joy. I will sing and make music to the Lord.

Then Jesus entered the temple courtyard. He began to drive out those who were selling there.He told them,“ It is written that the Lord said,‘ My house will be a house where people can pray.’( Isaiah 56:7) But you have made it a‘ den for robbers.’ ”( Jeremiah 7:11)Every day Jesus was teaching at the temple. But the chief priests and the teachers of the law were trying to kill him. So were the leaders among the people.

I’m concerned about the house of the Lord our God. So I pray that things will go well with Jerusalem.

A single day in your courtyards is better than a thousand anywhere else. I would rather guard the door of the house of my God than live in the tents of sinful people.

Lord who rules over all, how lovely is the place where you live!I can’t wait to be in the courtyards of the Lord’ s temple. I really want to be there. My whole being cries out for the living God.

“ Why were you looking for me?” he asked.“ Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”

At that time Hezekiah had asked,“ What will the sign be to prove I’ll go up to the Lord’ s temple?” That’s when the Lord had made the shadow go back ten steps.

Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting. The glory of the Lord filled the holy tent.Moses couldn’t enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it. The glory of the Lord filled the holy tent.

The priests couldn’t do their work. That’s because the cloud of the Lord’ s glory filled God’s temple.Then Solomon said,“ Lord, you have said you would live in a dark cloud.I’ve built a beautiful temple for you. You can live in it forever.”

I was very glad when they said to me,“ Let us go up to the house of the Lord.”Jerusalem, our feet are standing inside your gates.Jerusalem is built like a city where everything is close together.The tribes of the Lord go there to praise his name. They do it in keeping with the law he gave to Israel.

Then the king said to Zadok,“ Take the ark of God back into the city. If the Lord is pleased with me, he’ll bring me back. He’ll let me see the ark again. He’ll also let me see Jerusalem again. That’s the place where he lives.

“ The Lord will save me. So we will sing and play music on stringed instruments. We will sing all the days of our lives in the Lord’ s temple.”

With all my heart I want the temple of my God to be built. So I’m giving my personal treasures of gold and silver for it. I’m adding them to everything else I’ve provided for the holy temple.

Place the cover on top of the ark. I will give you the tablets of the covenant law. Put them in the ark.The ark is where the tablets of the covenant law are kept. I will meet with you above the cover between the two cherubim that are over the ark. There I will give you all my commands for the Israelites.

I have seen you in the sacred tent. There I have seen your power and your glory.Your love is better than life. So I will bring glory to you with my lips.

After three days they found him in the temple courtyard. He was sitting with the teachers. He was listening to them and asking them questions.

When I remember what has happened, I tell God all my troubles. I remember how I used to walk to the house of God. The Mighty One guarded my steps. We shouted with joy and praised God as we went along with the joyful crowd.
