But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built! — 2 Chronicles 6:18 KJV
“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! — 2 Chronicles 6:18 NIV
Thought and Reflection
As Solomon dedicated the Temple, he understood that this enormous achievement of extraordinary excellence was excessively irrelevant and little to house the Creator of the Universe. Be that as it may, God decided to stay with humans. That is what’s going on with the life of Jesus.
God is great and beyond description, far too holy to be expected to connect with imperfect individuals. As God, He has decided to cherish us and come and live with us so we can get back to Him and offer in His glory.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, truly You are more magnificent than my words can describe and more gracious than my heart can fully grasp. Thank you for Your great glory that is beyond human comprehension and Your grace that bridges the awesome distance between us.
I pray that I may know You more in my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
