Luke 21:5-6
When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, he said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down.”
*       *       *       *       *       *
In the history of the people of Israel, their temple was a target for enemies.  Anyone destroying the iconic buildings of an enemy's land, breaks their spirit, their will to keep fighting. Resistance is futile.  So they say.  On 9/11, terrorists went after the buildings they thought represented America and its greed and arrogance.  They succeed in breaking the hearts of families of loved ones.  They also awoke a sleepy giant of patriotism.  The struggle for life brings out the best and worst in us.  Our energies are called upon to show ourselves as God's people.  The test of this generation will be how well we revealed God in the only sanctuary that matters - the depths of the human soul. 
*       *       *       *       *       *
Holy God, let us fight the good fight. Amen.
