Devotion 2/23, Our Faithful God
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name; worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. Psalm 29:2
It is impossible for us in these human minds that we have to fully grasp the splendor of His holiness! It is near impossible to even put it into words. Those times in Scripture when people encountered His angels, they fell to the ground and trembled, so can you imagine what it will be like to see Christ in all His splendor! The book of Revelation certainly tries to give us a somewhat detailed account, but even that does not tell us all of what it will be like to experience God in His holiness.
However, when it comes to our hearts we can appreciate His holiness and the fact that He loves us and calls us His children through faith in Christ Jesus. We can live lives that are obedient to Him and His Word (1 Peter 1:15-16). We can come before Him in worship and give Him thanks for who He is and for all that HE has done and will do for us out of His great love and mercy!
Father, thank You for Your love, mercy, and grace that You give to us each day! Thank You for sending Jesus to die for our sins so that we may enter Your presence as Your children through faith in Christ.
Lord help us to never try and bring God down to the level of mankind for He is Holy and His splendor is such that we will tremble before Him, not from fear He will harm us, but out of reverence and love for His glory! Amen.
