March 24 – God of Holiness

I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight. Ezekiel 36:23  

Holy. God wants to be holy in the sight of His people—to show other nations that He is the LORD GOD. Those who know God, know that He is holy. Those who don’t know God personally may look at other people who do know God—who profess to being Christian—and want to know who their God is.  

Our God is an awesome God, creator of Heaven and Earth, of all plants, animals and people. He deserves our glory and honor—He alone is worthy, pure, sacred and holy. God is love. There is no other god—made from wood, metal or clay who is worthy of our praise. Give unto the LORD the glory due to His name; worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. Psalm 29:2 NKJV. The beauty of holiness. Beauty beyond measure. Holiness so pure it is divine. Pause in reverence for a moment and consider who God is…and what He has done. That is worship. Worship of the God of creation—who is worthy of our praise and adoration. 

Training Tip – Read the words to the old hymn “Holy, Holy, Holy” to your family and then sing it with them. Discuss what it means to be holy. (Find the lyrics at http://www.hymnsite.com/lyrics/umh064.sht or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy,_Holy,_Holy)

Lord – You alone are worthy of our praise and adoration. We come before you humbly acknowledging that You are holy…and You are our God, our Savior, and our Lord.
