Psalm 99:9
Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the
Lord our God is holy.
Betty loved the old church. She had come to its sanctuary
since she had been a young girl, and that was a long time gone, indeed. The
place was special. Betty had always been filled with awe whenever she stood in
the church. From the moment she entered the door, she felt God's presence. This
church was a holy place. She felt closest to God when she felt the special
magic of the old church. It was easy to worship God there.
We need reminders to
help us understand God's holiness. Truly, only He is worthy to be praised, and
yet we so often act as if there's nothing special about God at all. There is no
life in our prayers, we decided to skip church, or we ignore opportunities to
share Christ with those around us. Our actions say, "No big deal." It
is a big deal. God is the biggest deal of our lives. Everything we do should
exalt the Lord and show others just how important He is to us. Anytime we can
experience the holiness and majesty of the Lord, we should jump at the chance.
Nothing pleases God more.
Prayer: You are so
important to me, Lord. Help me to prove, through the living of my life, how
much You mean to me. Inspire me with Your holiness, and let me worship you
always. Amen.
