I Had to Be

When Jesus was twelve-years-old His parents lost track of Him on the return trip home to Nazareth after worshiping in Jerusalem. Days later they finally located Him. He was still at the Temple. His reply to them is full of tender instruction and true inspiration:

“Why were you searching for me?” He asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”
-- Luke 2:49 (NIV)

Lord, when my loved ones lose track of me, may I always be found in a place of worship. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Holiness Unto the LORD!
