If at any time our lives were in real danger during WWII during the bombings or while in prison, it was as if suddenly we saw things from God’s standpoint. Our perspective was changed because we touched, in a sense, death and therefore eternity. We saw small things, small; great things, great; we saw all things in the right proportion.
Solomon’s temple was completely - not just partly dedicated to God. We all are a temple of the Holy Spirit, which is why we need to stop compromising, so that God can do blessed work through us. It is no longer what we can do, but what God can do. And often we experience that when we are weak, we are powerful, because we are relying on Him, on His power.
