I doubt that many of us think about God often enough. We think about a lot of things -- the things we have to do, the things that are waiting once we are done with those, and sometimes we think about what we should have done or said. I'm probably not the only one who often comes up with the perfect thing to say 10 minutes after the opportunity to say it arose. What do you think about in your free time? I heard a preacher once say that what you think about when you have nothing else to think about is your true god. It's an interesting idea -- and one I try not to think about!
Do you think about God as holy? I imagine the elders gathered around the throne of grace, throwing their crowns down upon the ground and chanting holy, holy, holy. They love to sing about the holiness of God. The New Testament lays out the idea that the more we think about the holiness of God, we'll be inspired to live in a more holy way, because we're so grateful to God for giving us that holiness as a free gift through the grace of Jesus Christ.
God is holy. Dwell on that for a time today. Think of God on the throne, surrounded by unapproachable light. Appreciate that for a time. God is holy. May that inspire us to make more holy choices in our lives.
