"Except theLordbuild the house, they labour in vain that build it: except theLordkeep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain".
This psalm attributed to Solomon answers the question, "Thus saith theLord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?"(Is.66:1)..
Here the Spirit introduces two kinds of habitation. The house is much more on an intimate scale a place of rest to which the members each closely knit may take ease. This often passes for family. When God speaks of family he envisages happiness as a blessing. "Thy wifeshall beas a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table."(128:3). There is also a house where man may hold an intimate relationship with God which can only be maintained on a common basis.
To this we see God himself took the initiative. Truth in inward parts of man sets a tabernacle in his heart. "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty./I will say of theLord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust."(91:1-2). But for that abiding in Christ would not hold meaning. "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,/May be able to comprehend with all saints whatisthe breadth, and length, and depth, and height;(Ep.3:17-18). The Lord God is the maker and builder of the earth and heaven. Naturally this space infinite or microcosmos holds the fulness of God. "And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God."(Ep.3:19).Every believer being part of the pillar is not an afterthought but was in the divine Will of God. "Look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged." Even before the foundation stone in Zion was laid we were called. (Is.28:16)
