The Beauty of Holiness!
When
we give unto the LORD the glory due to His Name and worship Him in the beauty
of holiness, the Voice of the LORD comes in our direction.
Psalm
29:1-2 says, A
Psalm of David. Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD glory and
strength.
Give
unto the LORD the glory due unto His Name; worship the LORD in the beauty of
holiness.
The
next line declares:
The
voice of the LORD is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the LORD is
upon many waters.
The
voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty (vv. 3-4)
With
worship comes His audible Voice.
He
is the GOD of Glory!
His
Voice is All-Powerful!
His
Voice is full of Majesty!
As
true worshippers, not only does His Voice come in our direction, His Voice
makes way on our behalf and drives away our enemies.
The
voice of the LORD breaketh the cedars; yea, the LORD breaketh the cedars of
Lebanon.
He
maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn (vv.5-6)
In
the midst of worship, His Voice solves the mysteries and enigmas of our lives.
The
voice of the LORD divideth the flames of fire (Psa. 29:7)
The
genuine praise of GOD in the atmosphere of His presence builds strength in His
people; worshipping Him in Spirit and in Truth develops the saints to become ‘mighty
ones’. That’s why the psalmist wrote: “Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty, give unto the LORD
glory and strength” (Psa. 29:1)
Our
strength and glory comes from worshipping ‘the One and Only True GOD’.
The
Biblical record of the victory over Moab and Ammon in Second Chronicles 20 is
one clear demonstration of His royal majesty and the beauty of His Holiness.
Verse
21 of II Chronicles 20 says:
And
when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and
that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and
to say, Praise the LORD; for His mercy endureth for ever.
Worship
the LORD in the beauty of holiness!
He
is “the Beauty of Holiness!”
