In our last portion we read where Pinchas demonstrated zeal for the Lord because the House of the Lord was being defiled. Rather than condemnation, Pinchas received a commendation — made priest. We also read in Matthew 21 where we see Yeshua going into the temple of God overturning tables and using a whip while others were defiling His holy temple. He states, “It is written, My House shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves”. If we do not honor Him, and especially in a space dedicated to Him, how long should we expect that He will remain in that sacred space? When He departs, the space will not remain empty. It will be inhabited by another presence; one that is an oppressor. If we do not lead and respect what is his, He will replace us with those who will. To some degree, God has entrusted His reputation to us. We are to be careful how we represent Him to others anywhere we are. We are to sanctify His Name which includes being respectful of His house. Genuine respect and zeal for God’s house leads to promotion. Let us have a zeal for His house that compels us to see His Will fulfilled.
