S – Lord, who is like you among the gods? 

Who is like you, glorious in holiness, 

revered with praises, performing wonders?

Exodus 15:11 CSB

O –  Commentary:  “Holy” occurs only a few times in the Bible prior to Exodus 3:5. It now becomes the central descriptor of God in the OT. In other Semitic languages, the same root occurs infrequently. It does not describe a moral quality in these other languages but simply what is “other than” human. The pagan gods, for instance, were “holy” only in the sense of being “other”—they did everything humans do, good and evil, but on a larger scale. In the Bible, by contrast, moral perfection is a central idea of the term holy. The one true God is the only being in the universe who truly stands apart from this world and is worthy of being called “holy” in this general sense. The true God is perfectly consistent and moral in his character.

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – It is humbling to think that the creator of the universe, who is perfect and all-knowing, desires a relationship with us. His “holiness” is absolute.  In their deliverance, the Israelites acknowledge this character and power.

R – Lord, thank you for desiring a relationship with me.  I did not earn it.  You loved me before I loved you and acknowledged all that you are.  Let my life be an offering of praise and recognition of who you are today.
