Have you ever thought about that question? What do I really know of Holy? One of the dictionary definitions is this: having a spiritually pure quality. To me when thinking about God words do not really describe the holiness of God. I think about Moses at the burning bush:



Exodus 3:1-6



Moses at the Burning Bush

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush. So he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, but the bush was not consumed. 3 Then Moses said, “I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn.”

4 So when the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, “Moses, Moses!”

And he said, “Here I am.”

5 Then He said, “Do not draw near this place. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.” 6 Moreover He said, “I am the God of your father—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.



What do we see here? First God came to Moses with a sign. The burning bush. Are we looking for the signs from God? It may not be a burning bush but if we are looking and listening God gives us signs all the time for He has a ministry for all of us...every day!



Second Moses wanted to know more. He went and looked into the situation closer. Are we looking into what God has in store for us each day closer? Or do we run away? Could be a co-worker who needs some love shown to them. Could be less work and more time with family. Or numerous other things....are you looking?



Third Moses said "here I am!" Moses was willing to serve. When God has things to be done for Him where ever it may be...at home or at church, do we have the same attitude? Here am I God? True disciples of Christ must have this mentality to serve Jesus!



Fourth Moses was standing on Holy Ground. I have thought on this quit a bit and anytime we are in God's presence we are on Holy ground. Do we take this seriously? The holiness of God and allowing us into His presence is something the church has dangerously taken for granted in recent years. This is God we are talking about! Handle with precious care and love!



Fifth, Moses recognizes who He is talking to and falls on his face before God. Do we recognize God for who He is and fall on our faces in awe and reverence? No in most case we don't and this is not good. We need and better get back to realizing who God is and He is Holy!



What do I know of Holy? Not enough!
