The Living God vs. Lifeless Idols
This verse presents a powerful contrast to the preceding condemnation of lifeless idols. While idols are dumb, powerless objects of human creation, the commentary highlights that “the LORD is in his holy temple.” This declares that the one true God is alive, sovereign, and actively reigning. It is a call to turn from the empty pursuits of the world to the living God who holds all authority.
