worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour

and power: for thou hast created all things, and

for thy pleasure they are and were created." So

we see again the holiness of God; we see the

expression “Holy, holy, holy.” I mean, that's

something quite unique. You don't see in the

Scripture "Love, love, love" or "Mercy, mercy,

mercy," but we do see "Holy, holy, holy" in the

Holy Scriptures showing us the reverence that

we are to have for the God of Heaven.

In Psalm 22:3 we see that God's character is

holy; in Isaiah 57, verse 15, His name is holy; in

Psalm 60, verse 6, His words are holy; in Psalm

47, verse 8, His Kingdom is holy; and Psalm 89,

verse 35, His promises are holy; and Amos,

chapter 4, verse 2, even His judgments are holy.

All of these are holy. The holiness of God is

seen, by the way, in His delight in righteousness
