1 Kings 8:27
"But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded?"
Immanuel - God is with us. God took on the form of man and dwelt among us. He was tempted like us, He suffered hunger and thirst, weariness, emotions and pain. In every way that we are tempted so was He, yet without ever sinning.
Consider and understand the mystery of God, Creator, Lord of all things, humbling Himself to dwell with you and I. Heaven and earth cannot contain Him, yet He makes His abode with His children. Not only with us, but within us.
The temple Solomon built was considered so holy and sacred, how much more should we see our poor, sin-defiled bodies as holy and sacred. Not due to any effort on our part but wholly because of the presence of the living God.
Be still and know that God dwells with you.
