My House shall be called a house of prayer
"Even them I will bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."
-Isaiah 56: 7
As I think about this verse and what it means to our church, I wonder if I've really gotten a hold of the vision the God wants me to have. Do we, as a church, truly consider prayer a priority? If we do, how do people know that it is a priority for us? Are we on time for prayer? Do we pray fervently? Does our individual prayer time reflect our priority?
I hope I do not let the setup time, greeting time, worship time, sermon time, and "tear down" time distract me from my true purpose for coming to church. I want to concentrate on God and what He wants from me. I want to be a part of His church as He builds His church.
"I was glad when they said to me, 'Let us go into the house of the LORD.'" -Psalms 122.1
