I Kings 8:27 ” But will God really dwell on earth? The heavens, even the highest heaven cannot contain You. How much less this Temple I have built? “

This verse is part of Solomon’s prayer of dedication for the new Temple in Jerusalem.  He doubted that this building could in any way hold the Spirit of the Lord…since God can’t be limited to time/space dimensions.  But the Holy Spirit can dwell within the Believer, for in I Corinthians 6:19 it reads, “Your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit.”  What a Temple built of stone couldn’t start to hold, can be wonderfully contained within our fleshly Temple.
