It's taken me a wee while to get round to this, but the next scripture memory focuses on God's holiness. Isaiah reminds us that the Lord is holy fifty-seven times! God has set himself apart from sin (Joshua 24:19). The Lord shows his holiness through his own righteousness (Isaiah 5:16). Through his own holiness, he will make Jerusalem holy (Joel 3:17). Jesus was recognised as the "Holy One of God" by both demons and the disciples (Luke 4:33-34, John 6:68-69). He calls us to holiness because of his own holiness (Leviticus 11:44-45) and because we are his people (Deut 7:6). Through him, we are made holy and righteous in his sight and must live in accordance with this (Colossians 3:12, 1 Thess 3:11-13).

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”

And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”
Isaiah 6:1-5
