The Whole World is His House of Worship

2013-11-14O my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to all the prayers made to you in this place. [2 Chronicles 6:40 (NLT)

These were the words spoken by Solomon at the dedication of the Temple in Jerusalem. Let us, however, never make the mistake of thinking that church is the only place where we can pray or that God will hear our prayers. His eyes are always upon us and He is always attentive to our prayers, no matter where we may happen to be.

He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, and human hands can’t serve his needs—for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need. [Acts 17:24-25 (NLT)]
