Jesus Weeps over Jerusalem

41. But as he came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, he began to weep.
42. "How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes.
43. Before long your enemies will build ramparts against your walls and encircle you and close in on you from every side.
44. They will crush you into the ground, and your children with you. Your enemies will not leave a single stone in place, because you did not accept your opportunity for salvation.

Jesus Clears the Temple

45 Then Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out the people selling animals for sacrifices.
46. He said to them,
"The Scriptures declare, 'My temple will be a house of prayer,' but you have turned it into a den of thieves."

47. After that, he taught daily in the Temple, but the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders of the people began planning how to kill him.
48. But they could think of nothing, because all the people hung on every word he said.
Luke 19:41-47 NLT

11th strategy.
Reading... Simple Act of Meditation

• Take this time to read the passage one time through.
• Then go back and read every verse separately.
• After reading one verse just close your eyes and think about the words for a few seconds. When you are no longer considering the sweetness of God's word to you, move to the next verse.
• Continue through the passage.
  • Loving HIM is the purpose.
    
  • Getting to know HIM is the purpose.
  • Allowing Him to take the day and use us in this day is the purpose.
  • Finding the sweetness He desires to impart is the joy.
• Thank God for coming and bringing his Holy Presence into your day.
