Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth! Psalm 96:9 – I love visiting the national parks for the sights there at often so jaw dropping. All the pictures that are connected to these devotions are ones that I’ve taken and a good portion have been at said national parks. Splendor is a solid way to describe when you are standing at a lookout and you’re seeing the vastness of beaty in front of you. Yet how often do we think of holiness as something to find splendor in. If we’re honest our world doesn’t see holiness as something impressive or majestic. When something is considered “holy” it often gets connected with labels of stuffy, old, outdated, and not-for-me. Yet our psalmist sees God’s holiness very differently than that. The Lord’s holiness was something to find splendor in as in looking out over a glorious sunset over a powerful mountain range. The Lord’s holiness took the psalmist’s breath away because of its awesomeness. I encourage you today then to reframe your ideas around holiness if labels like stuffy and outdated match the way you see it. God’s holiness is one of the most precious attributes of our God for it is what sets Him apart from all others and reveals His perfect nature. I betcha if we took a few minutes out of our day today and paused long enough to think about God’s holiness, we too would be pushed to worship Him because of its splendor. Think about how God is sinless. Think about how God is never wrong. Think about how God never lies. Think about how God is absolutely perfect in every way. In a world that has nothing else like that, it makes sense then that holy would be a label our God carries so well. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3510
