Places and programs are just instruments for people to experience the presence of God. Solomon’s prayer clearly shows that the purpose of the temple was to create sacred space and time for people to have fellowship with God and experience his redemption in spite of their shortcomings. There is plenty of grace in God’s kingdom when we draw close to him. Grace-giving reminds us that when we realize that what we have we received by grace then we must also give by grace so that God may bless those who need his grace.
