Reflections on 2 Chronicles 2:5
We do not build temples of stone alone. Every thought, every assumption, every act of faith is a brick laid in the sanctuary of the soul. This verse from 2 Chronicles reminds us how great the work truly is — and how the divine presence we honour cannot be contained, only consciously hosted.
“And the house which I build is great:”
The house is consciousness. Your inner structure must be expansive enough to carry the truth you choose to embody.
“for great is our God above all gods.”
The I AM within you is supreme. It creates not by force, but by assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled.
“But who is able to build Him an house,”
Can imagination ever fully contain the Infinite? We craft symbols — states — but He remains beyond all form.
“seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain Him?”
Even your highest ideals cannot confine the source of life. The divine is limitless — and so is your creative potential.
“who am I then, that I should build Him an house,”
This question marks the turning point: the old self feels unworthy — but the awakened self knows it must build anyway.
“save only to burn sacrifice before Him?”
The only true offering is your former state. Burn it in the fire of belief, and rise in the form of what you now accept as true.
