Holiness and Glory

Today's BSF scripture is Isaiah 6:1-4. It's about God's holiness and His glory.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.


I have to sit with these words. I have to get past the Christians talking in my head. The earnest humans who read these words during church services and try to lead the attendees to new heights of understanding. It gets in the way. My mind goes immediately to their hypocrisy, or even just their inability to convince me of anything. The speaker on Sunday, at church number nine, wore a T-shirt and faded blue jeans, a calculated effort to make preaching (and God's word) seem hip. He spoke with sincerity, I'm sure, but he didn't sound wise to me.

These words of God's are themselves holy.

I fight against everything. I fight against myself. I'm fighting the clock right now, which says I have to wrap things up here before I've even had a chance to meditate on God's words.


Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.


Lord, help.
