Like Isaiah when we have a vision of God, our heart will comprehend the holiness of God. Sometimes we focus so much on other attributes of God such as His goodness, faithfulness, mercy and compassion, we fail to really see that "He is a God who is Holy"...
Isaiah's vision (in Isaiah 6:1-5) gave him a true picture God, himself and his people. If we get a revelation of God like Isaiah did, we are sure to cry out like Isaiah which will change every part of our life- our character, our service and our worship.
What we lack in today's Christian world is that we are not gripped like the way Isaiah was about God's holiness. Sanctification and consecration is followed by a fresh vision of God. And this will enable us to worship God by giving glory due His name and live truly as His saints...
1 Chronicles 16:29 (New American Standard Bible)
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come before Him;
Worship the LORD in holy array.
2 Corinthians 5:9 (New American Standard Bible)
Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.
Prayer: Dear Lord, Help me to have a fresh vision of you. Let the scales of my eyes fall. Let my heart be open and let your spirit cleanse so that I may worship you right and live my life with reverential fear.
