A Daily Devotional About where God lives… Acts 17:24 "The God
who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does
not live in temples built by hands. We can often
possess the idea temples built by men are somehow connected to God. We can
possess the idea our mighty physical churches and cathedrals contain God. We can
often think God lives in buildings we build. However, God lives within us, not
outside of us or inside inanimate things. We spend an inordinate amount of time
thinking God can be found in places other than within us. We can spend a
lifetime searching for God in places God would never call a place of His own. In
selfishness, we can spend a lifetime involved in searching for ways to get God
to give us what we selfishly want. When you are searching for God, you will not
find God living in a building. If you find God in a church, the
mortar, plaster, steel, or concrete of the building are not holding His love. If you
found God in a church, you found God because you looked within yourself. Of all the ironies
upon the earth from the beginning of time, we
find God within us, hanging from His Cross, giving His life for our life. We do
not find God within us yelling and screaming we should worship Him like we see
human leaders yell, scream, and demand subservience from followers. Our God is a
being of love, always living within us…always gently calling us to come to
Him. |
