Today I read in Isaiah 66: 1,2: Thus says the Lord, “Heaven is My throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you could build for me? Where is a place that I might rest.”
So many thoughts go through my mind and I can’t go any further. I ponder the size of God; SO BIG. How could a mere temple contain Him? But then He speaks of a place where He can rest. Who would have thought that God would want a place, a place of rest? I am undone. God is so huge that all of heaven is His throne and all of earth is a footstool? BUT, scripture says that He dwells IN ME:
- “Christ in you the hope of glory.” Col. 1:27
- “In Him all the fulness of the Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete.” Col. 2:9,10
- “I in them and You in Me...”John 17:23
- “....Body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.” ICor. 7:19
This does not compute. Heaven is His throne and yet scripture plainly reveals that God dwells in me.
I sit with Him in silence and then,
“Dearest Papa, I am in spiritual shock. Enlighten the eyes of my heart. I want to know the One whose throne is in heaven, whose footstool is earth; who has found a dwelling place, a place of rest, in me. My mind cannot comprehend this, but my spirit leaps for joy!”
