Today’s Reading: 2 Kings 25:2-4,22; 2 Chronicles 36:17,19-21; Jeremiah 39:2-5,9-18; 40:1-6; 52:9-23,27-30

I imagine it would have been a terrifying sight to see the walls breached, and devastating to see the temple looted and burned to the ground. If the fall of Jerusalem strikes an emotional nerve in me, what should my reaction be to the desecration of God’s temple inside of me?
