Holy, Holy, Holy

Each of these living beings had six wings, and their wings were covered all over with eyes, inside and out. Day after day and night after night they keep on saying,“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God, the Almighty—the one who always was, who is, and who is still to come.” (Revelation 4:8)

In reading today's devotion by Matt Redman, I was reminded of the holiness, the 'otherness' as Matt puts it, of God. When those around the throne worship God with 'Holy, Holy, Holy', it isn't because they are at a loss for words and are simply repeating themselves. To me, they are saying God is holy, layered with holiness and bond by holiness. It's sorta like God is holy cubed. In reality, He is holy to infinity and beyond. I know this is a very feeble attempt at explaining the holiness of God but since I am a feeble man that's ok.

Here is a link to Steven Curtis Chapman's arrangement of Holy, Holy, Holy sung at First Presbyterian Church in Lakeland, FL
