We can take comfort in knowing that His majesty reveals the vastness of our Creator. There will always be mysteries that we cannot grasp, and this calls us to trust in Him more deeply.

When we acknowledge God’s holiness, we start to see how unworthy we are and yet how merciful He is. We are called to reflect His holiness in our lives, growing in righteousness and striving to live as He desires. Recognizing God’s holiness can deeply humble us while filling us with gratitude for His love and grace.

His plans might not always align with ours, and there may be times we don’t comprehend why things unfold the way they do.
