“If you make me Me an altar of stone, you are not to build it of cut stones; for if you use a tool on it, you profane it.”
Exodus 20:22 CJB
The point God is making here is don’t try to build an ornate building for Him! Why? God doesn’t need an ornate building! I wonder if we have been building buildings that God is not exactly pleased with?
“Heaven is My throne, says Adonai, and the earth is My footstool. What kind of house could you build for me? What sort of place could you devise for My rest?”
Isaiah 66:1 CJB
Don’t misunderstand we should go to a place (building) for Bible study and worship with other believers! But do we over spend and make the building more important than God?
“But can God actually live on earth? Why, Heaven itself, even the Heavens, cannot contain You; so how much less this house I have built?”
1 Kings 8:27 CJB
Understand! We can’t contain God, so don’t try! We need to worship God everywhere and anywhere we go!
Have a blessed day!
