“THE HOLY STILL BE HOLY!”

 Revelation 22:10-13                    (ESV)

“10 And HE said to me, "Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

11 Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and “THE HOLY STILL BE HOLY”."

12 "Behold, I AM coming soon, bringing MY recompense with ME, to repay each one for what he has done.

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."”

Consider the Thanksgiving of 1789 when President George Washington penned his Thanksgiving Proclamation.  Times were definitely different in those days as most modern “conveniences” were not competing for the minds of the people.  Folks had no choice but to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT GOD was WORTHY to be praised and adored, to be THANKFUL that HE had BLESSED them with life, LIBERTY, and the “pursuit” of happiness!  

Mankind as a whole may have become wiser and more knowledgeable (Daniel 12), but fewer and fewer humans are part of “THE HOLY STILL BE HOLY” that John wrote about in the Scriptures above.  JESUS is “the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end”, so why do people act as the world revolves around them?  And why do I do the same sometimes?  

As many people know, GOD has recently been “working” in/on me about “letting go” and letting HIM be GOD! Since HE is “the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end”, it should be easy for me to allow HIM to be GOD!  

“THE HOLY STILL BE HOLY” is a LOT simpler when we place GOD where HE belongs, ESPECIALLY when we a placed where we belong!!!
