Guardians of God’s holiness
They are guardians of God’s holiness, just as we should be
These magnificent creatures guard, defend, surround and enthrone God's holiness.
It is difficult to imagine the fullness or even the necessity of such service.
Certainly the Almighty Creator needs no help or protection from His creation, yet he chooses to use them in an awe inspiring way.
The realization of such mighty creatures, in such high service, should certainly cause us to view ourselves with the utmost humility.
Even so, when we put it all in perspective, even lowly man is called to defend God's holiness.
We do so by not taking His name in vain, thereby keeping it pure.
We are not to sit idly by in the face of blasphemy against our Lord.
We are not to be accepting of sin, but rather to demonstrate holiness.
We are to defend the authority of His word.
We too, are called to the high service of defending God's holiness, but let us never to think of ourselves too highly.
