to the right of this blog to open the plan.
Warm greetings, dear sisters.
Thank you for continuing this journey with us as we reflect on the attributes of God. So far, we have studied God as Almighty, Benevolent (Good), Compassionate, Deliverer, Eternal, Gracious and Faithful.
This week we turn our hearts toward God as Holy—perfectly pure, set apart, righteous, and glorious in all His ways.
Take this study at your own pace throughout the week. The goal is not rushing through material, but slowing down enough to see God more clearly and respond to Him sincerely. Feel free to use the suggested study schedule below.
H — Holy
“Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts.” — Isaiah 6:3
Focus for this week:
Seeing God as Holy—the One who is perfectly pure, righteous, and completely set apart.
Weekly Attribute Summary:
God is Holy — there is no one like Him.
SUNDAY — READ & REFLECT
P — Prayer
Lord, open my eyes to see Your holiness more clearly. Help me to respond to You with reverence, worship, and obedience.

Reflect
Take a few moments to reflect:
What comes to mind when you think about the holiness of God?
How does God’s holiness affect the way you approach Him?
Picture This Attribute
Imagine standing before a brilliant light so pure that nothing hidden remains concealed.
God’s holiness is perfect purity without sin, darkness, or corruption.
Name It Before God
Is there an area of your life where God may be calling you to draw closer to Him in purity, obedience, or reverence?
Perhaps in:
your thoughts
your speech
your attitude
your relationships
your priorities
your entertainment choices
your prayer life
your worship
your forgiveness toward others
your obedience to His Word
your time with Him
your private life
Bring that area honestly before the Lord today, then share with us on the WOW chat the one you choose so we can pause and pray for you today.

TUESDAY — MEANING
M — Meaning
Why This Matters
Holy (Hebrew: qadosh)
Set apart, sacred, pure, completely without sin.
God’s holiness means He is absolutely pure in every way.
He is:
morally perfect
righteous
pure
without corruption
completely set apart from sin
God’s holiness is not harsh or cold. It reveals the beauty, purity, and perfection of His character.
Attribute in Action
When Isaiah saw the holiness of God in Isaiah 6, he became aware of both God’s greatness and his own need for cleansing.
God’s holiness does not push us away when we come humbly—it draws us into transformation.
Living in Light of This Truth
Because God is holy:
I can worship Him with reverence
I can pursue purity and obedience
I can turn away from sin
I can approach Him with humility
I can desire what pleases Him
I can live differently from the world around me
Look Back
When has God convicted, corrected, or drawn you closer to Him?
Take a moment to sit with this truth.

Optional Statements
This week reminded me that God is holy because He is completely pure and unlike anyone else.
One thing I am learning about God’s holiness is that His ways are always righteous and true.
I am thankful that God is perfectly pure and righteous because I can fully trust His character.
One scripture that especially encouraged me this week was:
“Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts.” — Isaiah 6:3This study helped me think differently about the importance of reverence and obedience before God.
I was especially encouraged by the reminder that God’s holiness also includes His mercy and patience toward us.
This week helped me draw closer to God by becoming more aware of His presence and purity.
I am grateful that God continues to cleanse, shape, and transform my heart.
- “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…” — Proverbs 9:10
SATURDAY — PRAISING GOD FOR WHO HE IS
As we come to the close of this week’s study, let us take time to reflect on the attributes of God we have studied so far and praise Him for who He is.
Almighty: When my strength ends, His power does not. Benevolent: God is good — not sometimes, not occasionally, but continually good. Compassionate: He sees every tear, hears every silent cry, and still draws near. Deliverer: Chains break. Fear trembles. Darkness loses its grip when God steps in. Eternal: Before time began, He was God. When kingdoms rise and fall, He remains unchanged. Faithful: People may fail. Situations may shift. But God keeps His Word. Gracious: He gives mercy where judgment was deserved. He lifts us gently when weakness says, “stay down.” Holy: Pure in every way. Righteous in every act. Perfect in all His ways. |
|---|
So today, we do not praise God because life is perfect. We praise Him because He is — Almighty, Benevolent, Compassionate, Deliverer, Eternal, Faithful, Gracious, and Holy.
