40 Days of Prayer

A. W. Tozer writes in his book The Knowledge of the Holy, “We know nothing like the divine

holiness. It stands apart, unique, unapproachable, incomprehensible and unattainable.

The natural man is blind to it. He may fear God’s power and admire His wisdom, but His

holiness he cannot even imagine. Only the Spirit of the Holy One can impart to the human

spirit the knowledge of the holy.”

God is holy. Pastor Chip Ingram says, “He isn’t six or ten or one hundred times more holy

than the best person you know. God Himself is an entirely different category in which He

is the only member.”

God reveals His holiness to us in many ways, as we will see in the Scriptures this week. As

we reflect on God’s holiness, how do we respond? Will we take off our shoes? Will we get

on our face? Will we make every effort to keep peace? Will we confess or praise? Will we

be God’s holy Church?
