2 Chronicles 6:18 New International Version (NIV)
18 “But will God really dwell on earth with
humans? The heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain you. How
much less this temple I have built!
As Solomon dedicated the Temple, he realized that this
tremendous accomplishment of great beauty was far too insignificant and small
to house the Creator of the Universe. But, God did choose to dwell with
mortals. That is what the life of Jesus is about (John 1:11-18). God is awesome
and beyond description, far too holy to be expected to associate with flawed
human beings. As God, however, he has chosen to love us and come and live with
us so we can return to him and share in his glory.
Thought for today:
Am I over the top with my presentation and representation to/for God?
