The earth is filled with His glory

Isaiah 6:3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory."

This is a picture from God’s throne room with the angels crying out about the God they serve. They were recognizing that first of all that God is holy. Not just a little holy or very holy but completely and totally holy. God is perfect and we cannot even comprehend how perfect He is in our limited minds. Yet God is holy, holy, holy. This is why we should be concerned about how we approach a holy God. We should approach this God in the way that He commands and with reverent fear. Not fear of punishment but fear of disappointing Him.

Then the angels go on to point out what is obvious to them but sometimes what I think we miss. The whole earth is full of His glory. We miss seeing God’s glory in all of creation and even in each other because we tend to focus on what is wrong and not what is right. We think about how things need to change or that seems to be out of sync. Yet we are commanded to think about the good things around us. Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.” These things bring about God’s glory and reflect it so that we can see it. Take some time today to contemplate God’s glory around you.
