The Holiness of God
In Heaven there is a continual proclamation of the holiness of God before His throne in eternity, “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” (Revelation 4:8) So awesome is His holiness that no one can hope to stand in His sight. All are sinful compared to Him. His glory fills the heavens and the whole earth.
Moses was allowed to come into the presence of God on Mt. Sinai. There he received the tablets of testimony and the Law upon which Israel would be established. When he returned to the congregation to deliver the messages he received from God, his face was so illuminated with the glory of God the people could not bear to look at him. They cried out in fear and asked him to veil his face to be in their presence.
How would it be to come so close to God, so endued with His presence and glory that our faces would shine with such power? That is exactly what happens when you receive the Holy Spirit! While it might not be so brilliant as to require a veil over your face, you shine forth the presence and power and glory of God.
May His Holy Spirit reveal the greatness of God. Allow the holiness of God to be reflected in your life!
