What do I know of Holy?

The closer I get to God the more godly I seem to feel. Makes sense right? Then before you know it I am gliding along on those feelings. Sometimes I get prideful about where I'm at or where I think I'm at. It's subtle at first and then it starts to show up in my reactions to things. My thoughts are more filled with judgement rather than grace. Quick tempered. My outlook starts to turn inward rather than toward God. When I humble myself and pray I'm reminded of His holiness and it quickly brings me to the realization that His thoughts are higher than my thoughts and His ways are higher than my ways. I heard this song on the way in to work today which describes it perfectly.

What Do I Know of Holy?
I made You promises a thousand times
I tried to hear from Heaven
But I talked the whole time
I think I made You too small
I never feared You at all
No If You touched my face would I know You?
Looked into my eyes could I behold You?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion? Where have I even stood But the shore along Your ocean? Are You fire? Are You fury? Are You sacred? Are You beautiful? What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

I guess I thought that I had figured You out
I knew all the stories and I learned to talk about
How You were mighty to save
Those were only empty words on a page
Then I caught a glimpse of who You might be
The slightest hint of You brought me down to my knees

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion?Where have I even stoodvBut the shore along Your ocean? Are You fire? Are You fury?Are You sacred? Are You beautiful? What do I know? What do I know of Holy?

(CHORUS 2)What do I know of Holy? What do I know of wounds that will heal my shame? And a God who gave life "its" name? What do I know of Holy? Of the One who the angels praise?

All creation knows Your name
On earth and heaven above
What do I know of this love?

(CHORUS)
What do I know of You
Who spoke me into motion? Where have I even stood But the shore along Your ocean? Are You fire? Are You fury?Are You sacred? Are You beautiful? What do I know? What do I know of Holy? What do I know of Holy? What do I know of Holy?


Scriptures for today:

1 Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

My Prayer for today:
Father, I'm desperate for you. Only you can keep me in balance and walking according to your spirit. Help me to have self-control to quiet my soul before you and listen for your voice. Help me to keep my eyes focused on you and your ways that I may be holy as you are holy.
