The Infinite Majesty

He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords… – 1 Timothy 6:15

My heart, be sure that thou prostrate thyself in such a presence. If He be so great, place thy mouth in the dust before Him, for He is the most powerful of all kings; His throne hath sway in all worlds; heaven obeys Him cheerfully, hell trembles at His frown, and earth is constrained to yield to Him homage willingly or unwillingly. His power can make or can destroy. To create or to crush, either is easy enough to Him. My soul be thou sure that when thou drawest nigh to the Omnipotent, who is as a consuming fire, thou put thy shoes from off thy feet, and worship Him with lowliest humility.

Besides, He is the most Holy of all kings. His throne is a great white throne, unspotted, and clear as crystal. “The heavens are not pure in His sight, and He charged His angels with folly.” And thou, a sinful creature, with what lowliness shouldst thou draw nigh to Him. Familiarity there may be, but let it not be unhallowed. Boldness there should be, but let it not be impertinent. Still thou art on earth and He in heaven; still thou art a worm of the dust, a creature crushed before the moth, and He the Everlasting: before the mountains were brought forth, He was God, and if all created things should pass away again, yet still were He the same. My brethren, I am afraid we do not bow as we should before the Eternal Majesty; but, henceforth, let us ask the Spirit of God to put us in a right frame, that every one of our prayers may be a reverential approach to the Infinite Majesty above. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
