"Holy, Holy, Holy" Hymn Sudy With Scripture

 I sing "Holy, Holy, Holy" every Sunday morning during my quiet time. I love the words and the music. It's a perfect way to praise God and worship His Name.

You'll find this Hymn Study With Scripture down the right side of this blog a few videos down. I hope you are inspired by what you hear, and whenever you hear this hymn, smile as you worship God.

 

 

The other morning I read about Madam Guyon in The One Year Women in Christian History Devotional. She lived in the late 1600s to 1719. She was a French mystic and one of the key advocates of Quietism. Fenelon, Cowper and Spurgeon were all supporters in this movement.

Quietism is a system of religious mysticism that teaches spiritual peace can be achieved through the contemplation of God and things divine. The practitioner of Quietism seeks to subdue the will and become totally passive, spiritually.

Madam Guyon was persecuted for her unwavering faith and imprisoned because of her love for God. She lived out the life that Jesus called her to live."My earnest wish is to paint in true colors the goodness of God to me, and the depth of my own ingratitude," she said.

 

She believed one should pray all the time, and that in whatever one does, one should be spending time with God. "Prayer is the key of perfection and of sovereign happiness; it is the efficacious means of getting rid of all vices and of acquiring all virtues; for the way to become perfect is to live in the presence of God." 

We all know we will never be perfect in this life. But being quiet before God is something we all need to do.

I don't know the right or wrong in the movement of Quietism, but I do know that being quiet before God is needed if we want to hear His voice. Praying silently, and communicating with Him in silence are good ways to hear His voice, whether a whisper in your mind or words read from the Bible.

 

I went out on my first early morning fawn spotting drive the other morning. It's still early to be seeing the babies. Hoping to spot one like this soon.

 

Singing the beautiful Hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy" in the stillness of early morning, the silence of your devotion time, or during worship singing in church are all ways to give Him praise.

If you're not familiar with this beautiful hymn, pull it up on YouTube. Sing or read it to our Holy Father.
