God created man wanted to fellowship with him. God made man in his image and likeness for an interrupted and unrestricted fellowship. Until man disobeyed God, man enjoyed the fellowship God.
God still wants to fellowship with those who are humble in heart. God is still looking for those who allow him to live in them. He still looks for a humble heart to live in.
God isn't interested in building as a house for him. God doesn't dwell in any man-made house. Nothing we made can accommodate him . He is so great that the whole earth isn't more than his footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? asks the Lord.
This is what the Lord says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand-made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the Lord. “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word. Isaiah 66:1-2
The good place for God to live in and rest is the humble heart of man.
If we are really serious about building a house for God, prepare people humble themselves and have a contrite spirit.
God created us in his image and after his likeness to understand and represent him on earth fully. He lavishly create us in his image and after his likeness to make us his perfect agents to fulfill his will on earth. He created us in his image and after his likeness to fully live and touch others in us. He designed and created us to live in us unreservedly.
Has not my hand-made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the Lord. God doesn't have a problem with anything other than human heart.
God created man with a freewill. He is the only creation capable of humble himself or not. God is after man's humble heart.
“These are the ones I look on with favor:
God isn't impressed by the most beautiful church building on earth, He doesn't look on them with favor. The only ones He looks on with favor is "those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word." Isaiah 66:2
God favors and looks on those who are humble to open their hearts for Him. He looks on those who have a contrite spirit. He looks on who humbly tremble at his word. He looks on these with favor.
