and worship at his holy mountain;
for the Lord our God is holy.
- Psalm 99: 9
Do you know the Lord our God is holy?
Petalled trees. Blue skies. And the world viewed through painted glass like waves. Pinks. Greens. And whites. Flowers like tumbleweeds skipping down the street. Let it catch your eye. Let it bring you back to the beginnings. Back to the basics. Back to when you first believed in God.
And remember your awe.
Remember your confusion.
Remember all your questions.
Because how is God actually God? And how can we actually conceptualize the Lord when we ask the question, "Who is He?"
This is not a trick. Trust me, there are no deceptive undertones to these remembrances. It's just a pure raw understanding of God. It's that moment when you look up into a starry night and have nothing to say; you can't find the words, or maybe they do not even exist. Because we fail at truly conceptualizing God for God. And there is no hurt in that. There's no wrong in our thinking of who the Lord is. It's just that we can't fathom His holiness. So all we can say is that He is holy.
But then where do we start? How do we begin to even describe what is holy?
Maybe we don't. For isn't that the true test of faith? Isn't believing in this Almighty Being without grazing the surface of what we actually believe in, the notion behind belief? Belief in the unknown. Blind faith as it goes.
Well, be blinded today. For the Lord our God is holy.
Fathom the unfathomable.
