“Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”
In our culture, God’s name is oftentimes mentioned with little reverence. In fact, many people actually use it as an agent of damnation. Even among those who love Him, it is far too common to use His name casually, without taking time to ponder who He is.
Our view of the Lord impacts three areas of life.
First, it affects our prayers. As we come to know Him better and better, our desires will start to look like His goals for us, and our petitions will align more closely with His purposes. Furthermore, as we recognize His greatness and power, we’ll become more confident that He can accomplish mighty things.
Second, our understanding of His righteousness and goodness influences our behavior. If God has these attributes, surely it is in our best interest to obey gladly. We will desire righteousness and be quick to repent of sin.
Third, our faith is impacted. Grasping that Jesus is holy, good, and powerful serves as a catalyst which helps us grow & mature our trust in Him. Knowing our awesome God and remembering His great works will further build our confidence in Him.
Do you personally know our loving and holy heavenly Father? He invites you into an intimate relationship with Him. But time and intentionality are necessary to understand Him and learn His ways. The more clearly we see God thru the lens of scripture, the more our prayers, behavior, and faith will be impacted.Have a blessed day,
