Majestic God
“For this is what the high and exalted One says—He who lives forever, whose Name is holy: “I live in a high and holy place, but also with the one who is contrite and lowly in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite.”” – Isaiah 57:15 (NIV)
In this verse, we are introduced to a God who is both high and exalted, yet also intimately present with those who are humble and lowly in spirit.
Exalted One
God is described as the “high and exalted One” who “lives forever” and whose “Name is holy.”
These words paint a picture of a God who is supreme, sovereign, and transcendent. He is far above and beyond our understanding, dwelling in a “high and holy place.”
Intimate Presence
Yet, despite His majestic nature, God chooses to live and abide with those who are “contrite and lowly in spirit.”
He does not remain distant or aloof but instead comes near to the humble and brokenhearted, reviving their spirits and hearts.
Reviving Power
This is a profound truth: the God of the universe, the Creator of all things, stoops down to dwell with those who acknowledge their own limitations and brokenness.
He does not demand perfection or self-sufficiency but instead offers His reviving presence to those who recognize their need for Him.
As we gaze upon the majesty of God, we are invited to approach Him with humility and reverence; we also take comfort in knowing that He is not a distant deity but a loving Father who desires to revive our spirits and heal our hearts.
