 "...who is able to build him an house..." 2Chronicles 2:6

Solomon had determined to build a 'house' for the Lord but also realised that no building could possibly contain Him. Unlike the notions of the heathen, whose deities were but idols and placed in buildings to secure them and localise them, the Omnipresent One, Who is infinite and fills the universe many times over, could not be so accommodated. Solomon built a magnificent temple, not to contain God, but to be a place of worship dedicated to honour God, His glory and His majesty. We serve the God who is greatest not only in power but also in presence. God is Spirit and whilst He is 'big enough' to fill the entire universe, yet He is 'small enough' to live within our hearts. How amazing that when we are consecrated to Him, such an Almighty God chooses to live in us as temples of His Holy Spirit!
