Even the doorposts would tremble...

When Isaiah saw the Lord, the doorposts tremble, the whole temple was filled with smoke, and a voice was heard... "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty." That is the picture of the awesome presence of our holy God. In the book of Revelation, people from every tribe, tongue and nation can't help but bow down in the consuming presence of the Holy God. No one dare stand and stare in the presence of our Mighty God.

My God is a Holy God...

One of the things about the character of God that has been so real to me is His holiness. The Bible mentions so many things about God... that He is Love, Peace, Provider, Healer, Warrior, and many others. But when we look at His holiness, the Bible says that our God is not just a holy God, but He is a holy, holy, holy God. It was never mentioned that He is love, love, love, neither is there a mention that He is peace, peace, peace... But when the Bible talks about His holiness, the word holy is mentioned 3x. In Isaiah 6:3 and Rev 4:8, God is described as the holy, holy, holy God.

His holiness is so important that such great emphasis is given to it by the Scriptures. God wants to be known as a holy, holy, holy God. God wants every man and woman to understand the depth of His holiness.

I love Him in His holiness...

His holiness teaches me to fear Him, not in the sense that I don't want to come to Him. But it is the holy fear that draws me even closer to Him. Fear that makes me want to stay in His presence forever, for it is the safest place that I can be. It is the fear that makes my heart cry: "I don't want to lose Him... I don't want to lose His presence... and I don't want Him to lose me in His presence..."

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It is the fear that gives me wisdom to know what is pleasing to Him and what is not. Fear that gives me the strength to be able to choose that which is pleasing to Him. Fear that enables me to refuse that which is not pleasing to Him. Fear that draws my heart to do whatever it is that will please Him.

His holiness teaches me to live my life pleasing Him every single day, with every single breath...

She is in the hospital!

Last week, she started to show some weakening. Then one day, to my surprise, she passed out. I tried to help her recover. She recovered a little.... Then, she passed out again... and would not recover. So, I had to bring her to the doctor. The doctor wanted her to stay in the hospital. She'll be in the hospital for two weeks or so. I'm gonna miss her a lot...

I'm talking about my ibook... I think the spanking that she has been receiving from my son has its damage built up. Or maybe she is just experiencing some signs of aging. Now, she has to go through some treatments, maybe some transplant also. The "doctor" is still trying to figure it out. Good thing, she is insured with Apple Care. Everything is taken cared of...

Will see her soon...
