Likewise, we can feel Solomon’s wonder in his prayer of dedication for the temple as he contemplates the infinite God dwelling personally with us. “Will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this house that I have built!” (2 Chronicles 6:18). Because God is both infinite and personal, he will “[listen] to the cry and to the prayer that your servant prays” (6:19).
