What Does 1 Kings 8:28 Mean?
Though no house can contain God, Solomon asks Him still to turn toward the prayer and plea of His servant, to listen to the cry he lifts up this day. The transcendent God is asked to bend His ear to one humble voice.
Here is the wonder of prayer: the God who fills heaven attends to a single human cry. Greatness and nearness meet in His listening love. Because God stoops to hear, no prayer is too small for His notice. The believer can come boldly, certain that the Lord inclines His ear to those who call on Him.
