We walked through the lives of Abram, Moses, Isaiah, Daniel and Saul and as each one was in the presence of God Almighty, they were undone. Men called of God, personal and intimate in their relationship with God, yet each one possessing a reverential fear of the God they served.
This awesome divide between a Holy God and sinful man was brought near by the cross of Jesus, yet I sensed the Lord wanted us to understand that He is God Almighty and there is no casual entrance into His presence. "Thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire" (Heb 12:28b).
Wow! How wonderful to look in the Word of God and learn how others reverence the Lord our God! When we don't see the living examples in our lives, we can look to the Word.
