Isaiah - Day 112

Scripture:  Isaiah 6:3(NIV):  "And they were calling to one another:  'Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.' "

Thought:  To me, the human mind cannot fully grasp the power and creative force of God's holiness.

Question:  Do I remember every day that God made this earth and all that is in it out of nothing?

What a sight and what a sound--this kind of praise!  Do we have any idea how holy God is?  What a great day when credit is finally given on earth to God's holiness!!

"The whole earth is full of his glory":  may our eyes not be blinded by Satan to the fact that all the earth's beauty and magnificence is from God's hand of creation.  He conceived of it all and brought it into being out of nothing by merely speaking the word.  This fact alone demands our most active praise.

But even more praiseworthy than the creation of the earth is the holiness of God.  His nature includes many attributes, but holiness, as we have roughly defined before as "purely perfect--whole and intact, missing nothing and containing no flaw--that which cannot be transgressed or violated", is the focus of the angels here in this verse.  The first words out of the seraph's mouths are "Holy, holy, holy!"  They are chorusing these words back and forth to each other.  How many seraphs are there?  We are not told here, but out of each mouth comes "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty."  Among God's greatest virtues is His holiness.  And all creation should praise that quality in Him.  I believe it is by the "strength and power" of holiness that God is able to create all things by merely speaking them into existance.

Prayer:  Lord Almighty, Holy, holy, holy are You and all Your works!  I bow in humble awe before You.  There is no one like You!  Your perfection and eternal existance separate You from all other beings!  Amen.
