Praise the Holy, Holy, Holy Lord of Hosts

05/11/2025

“In the year of King Uzziah’s death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him….And one called out to another and said ‘Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, The whole earth is full of His glory.’ And the foundations of the thresholds trembled…” (Isaiah 6:1-4a).

I don’t think there’s any way we can get our minds around what the holiness of the Lord is like. I don’t think we have the slightest idea of what the glory of heaven is like. Those who glimpsed the Lord and heaven were dramatically changed. Their response? They gave their lives wholeheartedly to God and served Him unreservedly. Isaiah’s reaction? “Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips—And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts” (Isaiah 6:5). All Isaiah could think in response to seeing the Lord was that he was unclean.

Were it not for Jesus bearing our sins on the cross, we couldn’t live eternally in the Holy, Holy, Holy Lord’s presence; which is why we praise Him today and every day!

I praise You, HOLY, HOLY, HOLY Lord!

Do We Have Enough Holy Reverence?

01/14/2025
The silhouette of a man bowed in reverence to the Lord, set against the backdrop of a lake.

“Hey, buddy.” We’re often quite chummy with people, calling them “buddy”. Some parents even call their children, “buddy”. In reference to Jesus, there are people who quote Matthew 11:19, that Jesus was a friend (buddy?) of sinners. But let’s not forget that Jesus is the gloriously exalted LORD who is seated at the right hand of God. Prayerfully picture the scene recorded in Daniel 7:9-10

“I kept looking until thrones were set up, and the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow and the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, its wheels were a burning fire. A river of fire was flowing and coming out from before Him. Thousands upon thousands were attending Him; and myriads upon myriads were standing before Him. The court sat, and the books were opened and were presented before Him.” 

The Son of Man, Jesus, is not our “buddy”. He is our Lord seated at the right hand of the Ancient of Days. 

ANCIENT OF DAYS, glorious One, and Son of God, forgive me when I fail to show You holy reverence. Help me honor You today and every day.
