The Greatness of Our God
From the representations given by the Holy Spirit to His prophets,
let us learn the greatness of our God. The prophet Isaiah writes:
“In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a
throne, high and lifted up; and His train filled the temple. Above Him
stood the seraphim: each one had six wings; with twain he covered
his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did
fly. And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah
of hosts: the whole earth is full of His glory. And the foundations of
the thresholds shook at the voice of him that cried, and the house was
filled with smoke.
“Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of
unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for
mine eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of hosts.
“Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his
hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: and he
touched my mouth with it, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and
thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated.”
Isaiah 6:1-7
, A. R.
V., margin.
“There is none like unto Thee, O Jehovah;
Thou art great,
And Thy name is great in might.
Who should not fear Thee, O King of the na-
tions?”
Jeremiah 10:6, 7
, A. R. V.
“O Jehovah, Thou hast searched me, and known me.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising;
Thou understandest my thought afar off.
Thou searchest out my path and my lying down,
And art acquainted with all my ways.
