I have started a new book by Mark Buchanan, The Holy Wild. The chapter that I just finished was about the Holiness of God. I just wanted to share what I have learned, and since no one really reads my blog, this is really more for myself.
In our moments of greatest need our greatest need is to simply see the Lord. "This is our greatest need in times of greatest need: to have our lives redefined for us - ruined and remade- by a terrible, wonderful encounter with the King of glory. To see God as He really is." page 145.
Worship is where we have our lives redefined.
Like Isaiah, before we can rest in the holiness of God we must be undone by his holiness. (Isaiah 6). "That's what God does. The holiness of God at first consumes us, ruins us. But if we submit, it cuts the burden, burns the sin, and sets us free." page 158
Be holy because I am holy.
