Glorious in holiness

“Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?” – Exodus 15v11

The thoughts of God’s people were directed God ward after their miraculous deliverance from Egypt. Their psalm of praise is a great testimony to their acknowledgement of the God who delivered them.

In this section they praise God that He is glorious in His holiness. In this rhetorical question God’s people ask, “Who is like You, glorious in Your holiness?” No one is like God in His glorious holiness.

God’s holiness sets Him apart from all others. He is totally separate from all the sin of he world. We are honoured to serve a truly holy God. His holiness if glorious and we must give Him glory because He is so holy.

We are also challenged to be holy as He is holy. When we walk in holiness our God is glorified. Our purpose of earth is to glorify Him, and we do so as we strive for His holiness in our own lives. May we live holy lives that glorify our holy God.
