For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the Lord: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. (Isaiah 66:2)
Heaven and earth and all created things are the handiwork of God (Gen. 1:1; Ps. 8:3; 33:6, 9; John 1:3). God sustains the earth and the entire universe by His mighty power. He is not dependent for a place of residence upon any structure built by man. Such structures have their place, but apart from a humble, contrite, and obedient spirit on the part of those who worship there, they lose their significance (see on Isa. 57:15).
