What does 2 Chronicles 2:7 mean?

'But who can really build a house for God? Even the highest heavens can’t contain him. So who am I to build him a temple, except as a place to offer sacrifices?' 2 Chronicles 2:7 - Modern Text Bible

(Solomon recognizes that God can’t be contained by a building, but the temple is a way to honor him.)
