The Temple

I'm reading about Solomon building the temple right now. It is quite amazing. The Lord is using it to show me many things.
"If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence or blight or mildew or locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besieges them in the land at their gates, whatever the plague, whatever sickness there is, whatever prayer, whatever plea is made by any many or by all your people Israel, each knowing the affliction of his own heart and stretching out his hands toward this house, then hear in heaven your dwelling place and forgive and act and render to each who se heart you know, according to all his ways (FOR YOU, ONLY YOU, KNOW THE HEARTS OF ALL THE CHILDREN OF MANKIND)........." 1 Kings 8

He knows our hearts. He knows when they're breaking. He knows when their burdened, heavy- ladened. He knows when they can't take anymore. He sees our hearts when they seem to be drowning in emotion. He sees our hearts when they're broken with disappointment or strife. He sees our hearts tremble with the winds of change. But none the less He hears, He sees, He listens to whatever plea or prayer we may have. And then he forgives, He acts, and He renders to us what we need. He is our God. He is my God. He is your God. And, He's not going anywhere. Nothing scares Him. Not even the most fearful or cowardice heart escapes His love and mercy. He is the God of the broken-hearted.
