how can it be?

But will God really dwell on earth?  The heavens, even the highest heaven, cannot contain you.  How much less this temple I have built?  Yet give attention to your servant's prayer and his plea for mercy, O Lord my God.  Hear the cry and the prayer that your servant is praying in your presence this day.  1 Kings 8:27-28

How can it be that GOD, the creator of the universe, the One who holds the stars in place, who speaks life into being, who controls the wind, the rain, the seas, the skies, how can it be that He would dwell in me?  The heart of Solomon in this prayer is the heart I share this morning as I contemplate that God's temple is now His people.  His crazy, beautiful plan was to dwell among us so that He might dwell within us, and use us to usher in His Kingdom amongst the mess we have made of our lives.  I am amazed and I am thankful.
