God's House

9/12/2015

"The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things." -Acts 17:24-25 (NASB)
Sometimes we focus on the appearance of our churches, homes, and even bodies.  We look for physical characteristics to set apart or draw attention.  Some churches focus on having the most attractive church building.  Some focus on having the best organ or band.  While we may sometimes become distracted by the physical attributes of our churches, we should be concerned with the love and actions of the church people!

We are reminded in Acts that God doesn't make His house in man-made buildings.  God's cannot be contained in something that we have created.  God dwells in every corner of the earth.  He also dwells in each of us, His creation.  We can take care of ourselves, members of His Church, and our church buildings as a tribute to or in honor of God.  However, we should be sure to always keep God as the focus of our work and to welcome Him as our partner everywhere we go and in everything we do!

God's house isn't a building.  He dwells in you and all around you!

Prayer:
Dear God-

Thank You for wanting to dwell with me.  Please help me to keep my body and Your church as a temple worthy of Your presence.  Through Jesus I pray, amen.
