Call to Worship
Revelation 21:3–6 NKJV
3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” 5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” 6 And He said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
Giving
Romans 12:9–13 NKJV
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good. 10 Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; 11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; 13 distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality.
Text For the week:
Matthew 6:9 NKJV
9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

HALLOW—to render sacred, to consecrate (Ex. 28:38; 29:1). This word is from the Saxon, and properly means “to make holy.” The name of God is “hallowed”, i.e., is reverenced as holy (Matt. 6:9).

God’s name is to made Holy.

God is Holy

Isaiah 6:1–3 NKJV
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”

How do we make God’s name Holy?

in the western culture we have a hard time with the concept of Holiness.
we have a problem with Holiness aspect of God is because we think that we determine what is exalted.
Isaiah 6:1–3 NKJV
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is full of His glory!”

The angels declare Him Holy Holy Holy.

Revelation 4:8 NKJV
8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”
What does it mean to be Holy?
it means to be special.
it means to be set apart.
it means to be opposite of common.
in western Christianity we have confused easy access to common things. Just because something is accessible doesn't mean mean that is common.

God is not asking us to make Him something He is not. He is asking us for our sakes to make sure His name and the things of God are NOT common place.

Because the Lord is accessible, we can confuse Him as common and loose our sense of awe.

When we loose our sense of awe, we loose an accurate perception on who the Lord is, who we are, and how we are to treat Him and relate to Him.

How does making ancient of Days as common place as a grocery bagger effect us ?

This is not an exhaustive list:

it hinders my worship of God.

it hinders my prayer life.
