EyeSalve
A Devotional by Pastor Terry Fischer
Eye Salve is a short devotional that Pastor Terry Fischer writes to challenge and encourage the saints of God. It is meant to be short and sweet and comes from his daily reading and prayer.
“But Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds, the officers of the host, and said unto them, Have her forth without the ranges: and him that followeth her kill with the sword. For the priest had said, Let her not be slain in the house of the LORD.” II Kings 11:15
I suppose Jehoiada did not want Athaliah, who took it upon herself to be king, to be killed in the house of the Lord because it is a place of life for mankind, not a place of death. I wonder how many of our churches today have become more of a place of death for people instead of life. We need the Spirit to be in our churches if life is to be offered, otherwise people are just being “slain in the house of God.”
