But who can ever build Him a worthy home? Not even the highest heaven would be beautiful enough! And who am I to be allowed to build a temple for God? But it will be a place to worship Him. (The Living Bible)
Can He build it? Yes He can! Can we build it? Why? We can't contain God. Do we need a building in which to worship? Do you need a building? We have one. It is very nice, well maintained and cared for. What's the point, if we can worship anywhere, anytime ~ but do we?
I need a place and time set aside each week to worship. It helps me feel connected to God and other believers. And it is nice to have a comfortable, inviting place to do this. I feel God's presence there, but He doesn't live there. He lives in us; we are His temple. We go to 'the building' to renew and go out refreshed. I hope that God's temple is renewed each time you enter His building.
Lord, Help us to realize WE are Your temple. The building is a place to worship You.
