Moment of Meditation: Reverent (Isaiah 6:3)

[The seraphim] were calling ceaselessly to one another,
Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts:
the whole earth is full of His glory.
(Isaiah 6:3 NEB)

Reverent

The seraphim ceaselessly worship God the Father in His presence. These angelic beings proclaim God's holiness to all creation. As Isaiah sees this glimpse of Heaven, he sees their reverent worship. "Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips and I dwell among a people of unclean lips; yet with these eyes I have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts," he cries out in despair (Isaiah 6:5).

When we come into worship, we must remember that we are coming into the presence of the LORD of Hosts, God Almighty, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. As we come into His presence, we should enter with the respect due the Creator and Redeemer we are worshipping. In olden days, people came into the sanctuary in silent meditation to prepare their minds and hearts for worship. Now, there is much visiting even as the service is beginning.

As you come into the LORD's sanctuary this week, think of the respect, honor and reverence with which you should enter His presence. Amen.
