Encountering the High and Exalted One

Encountering the High and Exalted One

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.

Perfection!

As you read through Psalms 19:7, you may find yourself struck by the beauty of the language and the wisdom it conveys.

The verse speaks of the law of the Lord, which is perfect and refreshing to the soul. It also describes the statutes of the Lord as trustworthy and capable of making the simple wise.

One way to think about this passage is to consider the law of the Lord as a kind of roadmap or guide for our lives. When we follow this guide, we are refreshed and renewed in spirit.

We feel more in tune with our true selves and with the divine purpose that animates us. This is why the law of the Lord is perfect – it leads us toward the very best version of ourselves.

But the law of the Lord is not just perfect – it is also trustworthy. This means that we can rely on it to guide us through life’s many challenges and uncertainties.

When we are faced with difficult decisions or complex problems, we can turn to the statutes of the Lord for guidance and wisdom.

In this way, the law of the Lord makes the simple wise, giving us the insight we need to navigate life’s twists and turns.

Ultimately, then, Psalms 19:7 reminds us of the importance of staying grounded in our faith and in the teachings the Word of God. When we do so, we are better equipped to face life’s challenges with courage and wisdom.

We can draw on the strength of our faith to guide us through even the darkest of times, knowing that the law of the Lord is perfect and trustworthy, and that it will never lead us astray.

So as you meditate on Psalms 19:7, take comfort in the knowledge that the law of the Lord is always there to guide and support you, no matter what challenges you may face.

Let the wisdom of God’s Law refresh your soul and make you wise in all your ways.
