Holy, Holy, Holy

“Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name,
in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.”
Reginald Heber, 1826

Lent is the perfect time to ponder the holiness of God. The words of this familiar hymn are a good place to start.

Good morning, Lord. You are all loving and all holy. Sometimes I focus so much on Your love that I overlook Your holiness — forgive me. There You are on the high throne of heaven, surrounded by armies of angels, with the earth as Your footstool and light as Your robe. Here I am, speaking to the One who spoke the universe into being. How is it even possible? I stand amazed in Your holy presence.
