[Difference Makers ls] Amazed by the Lord Bài mẫu

Holy, Holy, Holy How do you become a person who makes a difference in your community? You become a difference maker by being amazed by the Lord, like Isaiah was. He saw the Lord, and his response was, “Woe is me!” See, many of us think we are spiritual only if we are better than somebody else. But spirituality is not measured man against man, or woman against woman. It is not measured between people. God is the standard. Spirituality is how people measure compared to God. God is holy, holy, holy. And when we realize that, we say “Woe is me!” God is other. He is different than we are. He is so holy that seraphim cover their eyes in humility. They cannot even look at him. This is the only place the word seraphim is mentioned in Scripture. It means burning ones. The seraphim, in response to the purity and holiness of God, cover their eyes. They cover their feet out of respect. They fly around God chanting one to another, “Holy, holy, holy.” I just did a word search in my Bible program. I typed in the word holy to see every scripture that has this word in it. I received 15 pages in 12-point font. The printout does not even show the whole verse; it just shows every phrase that has the word holy in it. When I saw this, I was blown away. God is not just nice. God is not just good. God is Holy. The Scriptures do not describe Him as love, love, love or grace, grace, grace. But from His holiness comes His grace, His love, and His justice. The seraphim cover their faces, not daring to look at God. Meanwhile, we think that all we have to be is nicer than somebody else, and God will be pleased with us. But a holy God requires holiness in us, and that is only found through Jesus Christ. When you think about these Scriptures—holy, holy, holy—it changes everything, doesn’t it? God is holy. He is righteous. He is set apart. Do I measure my spirituality by comparing myself to others, or to God? Do I know what it means to be holy?
