"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;"
Acts 17:24-25
This is a good reminder that God gives us everything, including breath and life. :) The temple part reminds me of the woman of Shunem who built a room for the prophet. Temples are mostly to do God's work, not for him to live in, but like that chamber, it is a place dedicated to welcoming him.
Worship is also about us for the most part. God doesn't need our devotion, but WE need it, to understand who God is and what he offers to us, and as we work to do His will. Today, let's remember that despite everything God has given us (life and breath, etc.), what God asks is a broken heart and a contrite spirit. He wants us to repent and change so that we can be eternally happy. Let's work with him to get there.
