How big is your Temple for God

I read recently in "Kingdom of Priest" by Eugene H. Merrill on the History of the Davidic Kingdom the following statement:

It is important to understand that in the ancient Near East a king's sovereignty was not fully established or recognized until he had constructed an appropriate dwelling-place. If this was true of human kings, how much more so was it true of the gods, who, after all, were the true kings under whom the rulers of the earth served!

Merrill had said this in reference to David building his Palace and for his want to build a suitable place for God. His heart was in the right place but God told him that he could not build it because he was a man of blood. Solomon would build the temple in his reign. I am sure this broke David's heart because he wanted to show the true place of God in the life of Israel.

I wonder sometimes how big our Temple is. God said that we are now his temple and that stretches across the world. Sometimes I think it is our lack of the physical that limits our reliance on God. It happened over and over in Israeli History. After all that is why they asked for a King in the first place - So they could be like all the other nations. 1 Samuel 8:4-5

It brings on the questions "How sovereign is God in my life?" or "How big is my God?" I know that in my life HE is the creator of all things. He created the universe and all the intricacies that is in it. All the laws and physics, He created them. From the Complexity of an living cell, to the grandness that is the Grand Canyon. He has given himself as evidence all throughout the earth and his creation.

It is easy to say what we have been taught to believe, but the real question is "Do we really believe it?" Sometimes I really wonder about that. How much do I really believe what I am saying? That is part of the question that I am seeking.
