Holiness? We know God is holy, right? Yet we can’t comprehend what the word holy truly means. We don’t have a way of understanding what God’s ‘holiness’ means in it’s entirety. It’s a human impossibility. Why? Because we are not now, nor have we ever been, holy as God is holy. What we cannot envision or experience does not allow itself to be defined in human terms. Let your mind play with the verse God spoke to Moses in the desert, “… Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” (Ex 3.5). The dirt where Moses was standing was holy? So was it that the holiness of God emanated from the bush that burned and wafted across the ground? How far out from the bush did it go? Did it go up too, or sideways, or just across the ground? Why did God want Moses to remove his sandals? Was it because God wanted only Moses’ bare feet to touch that holy dirt? What application can I offer you other than there is a side of God that we don’t know now. A side of Him that’s so far beyond what we can imagine that we are literally at a loss of words? How will it be when you meet this Person you could not imagine for the first time? Will there be holiness everywhere? Will it cover the ground where you stand… Will you be barefoot? How will it feel? Dear Father, Holy One of Whom I know so little. Please lead me into deeper awareness and knowing. I am so limited. Allow for growth in my failings and simple nature, and teach me about such things I cannot possibly understand, like holiness... Amen, amen and amen.
