Daily Bible Reading: 1 Kings 8 – 9
Verse of the Day: 1 Kings 8:27 – “But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded!”
How often do we think about what great things we have done for God? Believe it or not, some people think and act like God is lucky to have them working for Him.
Solomon, after building a magnificent Temple, understood that all that he had accomplished was small in comparison to God Himself. All of the heavens are too small to contain God – so how could a building (not matter how large or beautiful) could not contain God. Compared to God, Solomon humbly dedicates his work as an offering to the One who deserves all praise and worship.
Prayer: Majestic and Magnificent God, I come humbly before You today offering what my small hands can bring. May You accept the praise and glory for all I do. Amen.
