If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away. — Matt 21:3 BSB

Whatever Jesus asks of us, we should give willingly and without question. Sometimes He asks for our money for His work, and we should never refuse. He may want us to give a book to someone who needs it for spiritual growth. One time, a reclining chair that hadn’t been used since a grandmother passed away was brought out and sent to a sick man who needed it.

The real temples of God are human hearts where God desires to live. But sometimes, there’s no room for Him. When Jesus went to the temple in Jerusalem, He found it desecrated by merchants, and He drove them out. He also comes to our hearts and wants to drive out anything that defiles them.

Jesus was disappointed one morning when He was hungry and went to a fig tree, but found no fruit. Is He ever disappointed when He comes to us looking for fruit in our lives?
