God is pure holiness, and dwells completely separate from humanity.
It's easy to forget this -- we make God so common and end up forgetting how majestic God is. It reminds me a little of the display of the crown jewels in the Tower of London. They're so valuable and more heavily guarded than any other display that I can remember, and there is a moving floor so that the crowd doesn't clog things up by lingering near certain exhibits. It's very clear from the moment that you draw near that you're viewing something valuable. No one wanders in by mistake and doesn't realize that there is something special about what you are about to see.
In the same way, God sits in God's throne, and should be praised as holy and perfect, completely other than we are. It is only through pure grace that God chooses to reveal himself to us. We are to exalt God, and to fail to do so is pure folly. May we choose to worship each and every day.
