<\/a>The song I want to share with you today is one that I heard recently and it touched my heart. The question is, \u201cWhat Do I Know of Holy?\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What a great question! Would you care to answer this question with me?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What does \u201choly\u201d mean? To be holy is to be distinct, separate, or in a class by itself. And what would God separate Himself from? Sin (Isaiah 59:2). Darkness (1 John 1:5). Evil (Psalm 5:4). You see, God is not just holy, His very existence is holy. Every characteristic within Him is holy. Take a look at these verses of Scripture.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
God is Holy<\/strong><\/p>\n Isaiah tells us that God\u2019s name is holy (Isaiah 57:15)<\/p>\n John reminds us that only God is holy (Revelation 15:4)<\/p>\n Jesus was called the Holy One of God (Mark 1:24)<\/p>\n Wherever God is, it is holy (Exodus 3:5)<\/p>\n Moses, Miriam and Joshua tells us that God is holy (Exodus 15:11; Joshua 24:19)<\/p>\n There is no one holy like God (1 Samuel 2:2)<\/p>\n God\u2019s arms are holy (Psalm 98:1)<\/p>\n God\u2019s works are holy (Psalm 145:17)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You see, God is holy. Period. But what does that mean for my life?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We are to be Holy<\/strong><\/p>\n These are the words given to the Israelites by God. \u201cI am the Lord your God; consecrate yourselves and be holy, because I am holy. Do not make yourselves unclean by any creature that moves about on the ground. I am the Lord who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.\u201d<\/em> (Leviticus 11:44-45 \u2013 NIV)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now don\u2019t think that because this is an Old Testament passage that it doesn\u2019t apply to us. Peter said this same thing in 1 Peter 1:15. We are called as believers of Christ to be holy. Friends, that means there is to be no hint of any sin, evil or darkness in us.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you need some direction on this idea, take a look at Colossians 3:1-17. These are God\u2019s rules for us to live holy lives.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There is so much more to learn about God\u2019s holiness. As the song says, we\u2019re just standing on the shore of the ocean when it comes to knowing about God\u2019s holiness. But it creates the desire within me to learn more and more about God\u2019s holiness and how much I need God\u2019s holiness in my own life. That\u2019s what I want to know about holy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So here are the lyrics to this beautiful song. I pray that as you go through your day that you will be reminded of God\u2019s holiness. I pray that you will allow God\u2019s holiness to fill your heart so that you can live a holy life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cWhat Do I Know of Holy\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I made You promises a thousand times<\/p>\n I tried to hear from Heaven<\/p>\n But I talked the whole time<\/p>\n I think I made You too small<\/p>\n I never feared You at all No<\/p>\n If You touched my face would I know You?<\/p>\n Looked into my eyes could I behold You?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n CHORUS:<\/p>\n So what do I know of You who spoke me into motion?<\/p>\n Where have I even stood but the shore along Your ocean?<\/p>\n Are You fire? Are You fury?<\/p>\n Are You sacred? Are You beautiful?<\/p>\n So what do I know? What do I know of Holy?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I guess I thought that I had figured You out<\/p>\n I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about<\/p>\n How You were mighty to save<\/p>\n Those were only empty words on a page<\/p>\n Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be<\/p>\n The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees<\/p>\n (CHORUS)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Bridge:<\/p>\n What do I know of Holy?<\/p>\n What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame?<\/p>\n And a God who gave life its name?<\/p>\n What do I know of Holy?<\/p>\n Of the One whom the angels praise?<\/p>\n All creation knows Your name<\/p>\n On earth and heaven above<\/p>\n What do I know of this love?[i]<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If interested, click here <\/a>to listen to this beautiful melody as recorded by Addison Road.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Donna<\/p>\n
