“But will God really dwell on earth?
The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you.
How much less this temple I have built!
1 Kings 8:27 (NIV)
Dearest Lord, I love to organize things. In fact, I find that sometimes it is tempting to try to put You in a neat and tidy container too. I have even noticed that some of our houses of worship reflect that box-shaped packaging that we feel compelled to place you in. Forgive us for You are too majestic, too mysterious, too staggeringly beautiful to contain. And I must say that I am so very glad for it!
Questions for Pondering…
What are some of the ways I try to put God in a box?
Why is it tempting to bristle when told to surrender my control over to Christ?
