“In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called out to another and said, “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory.”And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke” (Isaiah 6:1-4).
God is Holy and the earth is full of His glory! Understanding that God is holy is a vital step in coming to know Him. In Exodus 3, God appeared to Moses in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush, yet the bush was not consumed. This bush could have been an eternal source of fuel, if God chose for it to be! As Moses gazed at the marvelous sight, God gave him instructions and told Moses not to come near and to take off his sandals “for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” Since God is holy we have to approach Him in a special way as well. We must listen to the words God has revealed, with a willingness to “take off our sandals” if that is what He would ask! The good news for us is God wants us to know Him and we can come to know Him and build a relationship with Him. Yet we must understand the importance of listening and reading the Bible so that we can make the changes necessary to draw near to the Holy one.
Do you want to know the Holy God who created the earth? We invite you to join one of our Bible studies where we will seek nothing more than to learn and understand more about God and His desire for people. There are both virtual and in person opportunities and if none of the currently scheduled studies work for you, we would be delighted to set up a time to open a Bible and read it with you.
