Holy, Holy, Holy

 Ezekiel 8-11; Revelation 4 

“…Day and night they never stop saying: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come.’”

Revelation 4:8

“And he said to me, ‘Son of man, do you see what they are doing – the utterly detestable things the house of Israel is doing here, things that will drive me far from my sanctuary?’”

Ezekiel 8:6

In the sanctuary of God, he is worshiped as holy. “Holy, holy, holy” is the continual cry before his throne. This is why as his worshipers, our lives as the sanctuary of his presence, must be holy. It was the detestable things the house of Israel did which drove God from the first sanctuary in Jerusalem.

What about our lives today?

We receive forgiveness and righteousness through Christ alone; but that does not mean we may live carelessly with our bodies, indulging lusts and worshiping idols of money, career, and material things. Our lives and mouths must also cry, “Holy, holy, holy” as we live to worship our holy King.’

“Father God, I repent for not honoring your holiness and consecrating my body to you as a sanctuary, for your glory.”
