The Temple of God: Leading God Into My House

A thought about where God resides – the Temple of God:
Solomon, the wisest of the kings of Israel, spent seven years building a magnificent temple in praise of Your name, and celebrated its dedication with a feast of eight days. He offered a thousand sacrifices in Your honor and solemnly bore the Ark of the Covenant with trumpeting and jubilation to the place prepared for it; and I, unhappy and poorest of men, how shall I lead You into my house, I who scarcely can spend a half-hour devoutly — would that I could spend even that as I ought!
–Thomas à Kempis

On this Good Friday, I hope we will all spend some time thinking about the great God who loves us so very much… so much, in fact, that He gave us His Son Jesus to die on the cross to bring us salvation. He deserves our very lives devoted back to Him in return.
