9/29/13- A Month in Prayer Begins

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. 8 Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:

“‘Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord God Almighty,’
who was, and is, and is to come.”

Thoughts: The inner most song- the four cherubim around the throne sing is a song of holiness, power, and a song of the Trinity.
    The Trinity- the three I ams in one I am is found in the triplicate- "Holy, holy, holy.  It is found in the three names of the the one God- Lord, God, and Almighty.  He is over all in terms of allegiance, created all, and rules over all. The three in oneness is found in terms of time- He was, is and is to come. Past present and future all point to the trinity.  
    It is a song of power, person, and punctuality.  

    God is a holy God- unpolluted, unpoisoned with sin, brilliantly clean, absolutely perfect in morals, in person, in love.  The word "holy" means "other" or "different."  God is different from us- and that is a good thing.  This difference points to Creation.  Whereas pantheists and panentheists have a hard time saying God is different or holy- or that there is such a thing as holy.  For them God is only tolerance and love. 

     There was never a time when God was not.  God always is- He is never not present.  He is always to be trusted to come.  He comes to us in our time of need; He comes when no one else does. 

Prayer: Let me trust in your holiness, power, and ever-present love.
