But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
1 Kings 8:27
God’s immensity cannot really be appreciated outside of a worshipful heart. Solomon stood in a brand new magnificent temple... the pinnacle of his achievement as king in Jerusalem.... one of the seven ancient wonders... and with hands spread heavenward realized that no work of man, not even if it were built across the entire planet, could contain the God that he worshiped.
Beyond that, God exists beyond the universe He created. The universe is too small a temple for God! The Lord God Almighty is bigger than what we can comprehend. He is bigger than the universe. And today astronomers can peer through their telescopes and cannot yet see any end to outer space... it appears to stretch on and on. Still, God is beyond even that!
O Lord,
You are indeed infinite. Your immensity stretches to infinity and yet You dare to reach down in love to us. Jesus, You are my Lord of heaven, Who bound Yourself to Your creation in the Incarnation out of Your infinite love and grace. My soul worships even as all of this is so beyond me!
Amen
