2 Chron 7:16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine HEART shall be there perpetually.
This is part of what God told King Solomon, when he revealed himself to him by night, after the dedication of the Temple. God reveals that his desire and plan for the Temple is that his heart should be there always. God had chosen and sanctified his house, so that his heart could be there.
Today we know that this Temple only worked as a shadow and example for the truer Temple, which are you and I. The Bible makes it clear that God doesn’t dwell in houses build by men, but rather that we are the Temple of God today.
So what is God trying to tell us today, by his statement to King Salomon? That his intention and plan for us, is to sanctify us, so his HEART can be with us always!!!
What makes this even more wonderful, is when you think of the statement of Jesus in Matt 6:21 : ”…for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also…”
By choosing us as a dwellingplace for his heart, he also reveals that we are his tressure!!
Oh, how he loves us
