Who Is God?نموونە

God is Holy 

God is completely different to and separate from everything.

In this vision God is described as highly exalted, holy, with the earth full of his glory.

Isaiah sees this holy God and his reaction is “woe is me, I am ruined”. Isaiah understands that God is far above and other to him, that even to see the almighty king means he is ruined.

The vision continues, Isaiah’s guilt is taken away and he is not ruined – however we see the appropriate response to God’s holiness in Isaiah – reverence and awe. Only through Jesus can we too come before this holy God as his children.

How might reverence and awe be seen in our prayers – both in the way   we pray and what we pray about?

Prayer:
God, you are the Lord of the heavens and the Earth. You are holy, the earth is filled with your glory. You are holy and pure in all your ways. Thank you that through Jesus I can come before you, a holy God.
