2 Chronicles 6:18

Dwell with men. How often frail man has asked himself the question: Will the great God of heaven dwell with the peoples of earth? To Moses, God gave the promise, “Certainly I will be with thee” (Ex. 3:12). That same promise was given to Jacob (Gen. 31:3, 5; Gen. 48:15). The psalmist said with confidence, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me” (Ps. 23:4). Jesus gave the promise, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world” (Matt. 28:20). To everyone who opens the door, God extends the promise: “I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Rev. 3:20). In every part of the earth men have come to realize that God will indeed dwell with men. All who will, may right here in this world enjoy the companionship of Heaven.

Cannot contain thee. God is greater than all the universe He has made. The heaven of heavens cannot contain Him! How much less a temple made with the hands of men! Man’s great need is to learn to be humble and still, and to walk before God in reverence and holy fear.
