The Promise

While we know men will always let us down, God is different. Numbers 23:19 (NLT) tells us, “God is not a man.” When God spoke to Job from a whirlwind, He asked him, “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone as the morning stars sang together…?” (See Job 38-39.) It’s no wonder Job replied, “I am nothing — how could I ever find the answers? I will cover my mouth with my hand.” (Job 40:4 NLT) To say that God is holy is not to say simply He is morally pure. It means He is separate, other, distinct, removed. We are man, but He is God, and God is Holy.
