Trembling

One of my favourite passage in the bible is Isaiah 6 where Isaiah saw a vision of the God in all his glory.Then Isaiah trembled and went all whimpy at the holiness of God, but God cleansed Isaiah and commissions him for His purpose.

Isaiah was trembling because of the "fear of the Lord". This fear of God that causes anyone who trembles because God is so Holy that we cannot enter into God's pressense knowing that we have blemishes in our lives. Prase be to God that in Christ we are made clean but it doesn't give us the right to brag about our position in Christ, though it is something that we should notbe ashamed about. However God gives grace to the humble and opposes the proud. Thus coming before God with humility is a reflection of our gratitude to God for his grace and his mercy thru Christ Jesus. For without the new life we have in Christ, we'll still be worshipping God in the "outer courts" oblivious to glory and awesomeness of God.

The typical modern worship service is not the only time that we see God's glory. Even in our daily reading of the Bible, we could see God's glory reflected through the pages of the Bible. We could also see God's glory in the life of another believer who selflessly offer a simple act of service or word of encouragement, because in doing so they glorify God. The Goodness of God is revealed in many many ways which causes me to pause and tremble with the fear of God. God's glory is displayed is everywhere; in creation; the things around us like the mountains, oceans and valleys; and in the lives of His saints. That glory causes me to tremble at his magnificence and prostrate as an act of worship.
