“The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: ‘Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!’” (Revelation 4:8)
When I say the word, “Holy,” what is your first reaction?
For many it will be a negative. They will think of someone, “holier-than-thou,” as in a self-righteous person. Another negative response would be if someone was out of what we would call a “holiness” denomination that is legalistic—with a lot of rules and regulations—many do’s and don’ts—with most of them don’ts.
But, all that is a distortion. When I say the word holy, your first thought should be, “God.” The word means, “set apart.” Thus God is set apart from us absolutely in His person and His practice. This is the holiness of God. He is “other than,” above and beyond all—incomparable.
This is the subject of our study in this week’s devotional. I hope you will join us each day. This can be life-changing!
