Day 3: Hallowed
Holy. Sanctified. Set apart. Completely other than. The very nature of our Abba, the absolute truth of His character is that He alone is God. There is no other God, there is no other Creator, there is no other Redeemer, there is no other Sustainer, there is no other Healer, Provider, or Banner. Our Lord is Holy.
All too often, we find ourselves trying to be overly relevant in the way we communicate about the Lord to the world around us. We try to enfold the Creator into creation, we attempt boxing the Limitless King with limited thoughts and philosophies, and we ultimately forget that God is in His very nature Holy.
This means that there is nobody else like Him. Nobody is God but God. Nobody is present like God but God. Nobody speaks like God but God. Nobody loves us like God but God. Nobody is gracious to us like God but God. Nobody is peace, mercy, hope, faithful, truth, freedom, and love but the Holy and Anointed One. Our God alone is God, and in us joining the prayer of Jesus, we are unashamedly declaring that there is One God and He is the Holy One.
As we walk through the day, many distractions try to sneak in and lie to us about the truth of the Holy Lord. We believe them all the time as we believe that other things are perfect, majestic, and worthy of our praise. Today, as you acknowledge and pray this prayer, remember the absolute holiness of our King. There is nobody like our God and in His holiness, we celebrate the fact that nothing and no one else can sustain, love, or be faithful as our God was, is, and will always be. We don’t just remember that He was holy, or is holy, but He will always be holy. Have confidence, beloved, nobody will love you or speak to you as our Holy God will. Amen.
Action: Today, I encourage you when you feel yourself engaging with other gods, embracing other idols, praying to other distractions, pray: LORD, align me with Your holiness.
