The Majesty and Holiness of the Lord

Scripture:

For who in all of heaven can compare

with the LORD?

What mightiest angel is anything like

the LORD?

The highest angelic powers stand in awe

of God.

He is far more awesome than all who

surround his throne.

(Psalm 89:6-7)

Observation:

This is an amazing scripture about the majesty and holiness of God. What blows me away is this: God is so holy, that even the most glorious angel is nothing compared with Him. It makes me think about the mighty seraphim that surround His throne. The Bible says that with two of their wings they cover their eyes. I'm pretty sure they cover their eyes because God is too holy to look upon. It is amazing to read the Bible and learn about God, the ruler of the universe.

Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. They were calling out to each other, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Heaven's Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!" (Isaiah 6:2-3)

Application:

This scripture gives me absolute confidence and joy! Think about it... this same God became a man and died on the cross for me! God the Son, came from heaven and became a man! He didn't come in this heavenly glory that we read about, he didn't come as an angel, but he became a man, born into this world. It's amazing that Jesus came to redeem fallen men. He didn't even die for the angels that sinned, but he died for me, a sinner. That is the amazing grace of God.

We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. Hebrews 2:16

Prayer:

Dear LORD, thank you for your grace and your mercy. Thank you for saving me. You are so majestic and so holy that my brain can't comprehend it. All I can do is offer worship and praise. Please use me. I pray for my family and friends that are not born again, I ask you to remember them before you come back. In Jesus name, amen.
