Glory

#207
I just got back to my room after our final day of Conference. Tonight, David Platt taught from Isaiah and gave us some simple yet mind-blowingly powerful truths about God and ourselves. After the year that I've had, hearing from the Word about His incomprehensible greatness, our utter depravity, His scandalous mercy, and our urgent mission, just ROCKED me. How easily we turn God into something so much smaller than what He really is... Thank You, Lord, for a reminder of how far beyond our understanding Your character stretches. "Holy, Holy, Holy!" the seraphim cry out. "DIFFERENT! SEPARATE! ABOVE!"... even in their own sinlessness and "holiness", they see Yahweh and are so overwhelmed by His splendor and His superiority that all they can say is that He is ABOVE them, SET APART, and OTHER.
