Read Isaiah 6:1-8
6
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord. He was sitting on his
throne, high and exalted, and his robe filled the whole Temple. 2Round
him flaming creatures were standing, each of which had six wings. Each creature
covered its face with two wings, and its body with two, and used the other two
for flying. 3They were calling out to each other:
“Holy, holy, holy!
The Lord
Almighty is holy!
His glory fills the world.”
4 The sound of their voices made the
foundation of the Temple shake, and the Temple itself was filled with smoke.
5 I said, “There is no hope for me!
I am doomed because every word that passes my lips is sinful, and I live among
a people whose every word is sinful. And yet, with my own eyes, I have seen the
King, the Lord Almighty!”
6 Then one of the creatures flew
down to me, carrying a burning coal that he had taken from the altar with a
pair of tongs. 7He touched my lips with the burning coal and said, “This
has touched your lips, and now your guilt is gone, and your sins are forgiven.”
8 Then I heard the Lord say, “Whom
shall I send? Who will be our messenger?”
I answered, “I will go! Send me!”
Think
Isaiah saw the Lord on his throne.
Isaiah's vision affirms God's position as King, filling the temple with
his presence.
Pray
Lord I might not see as clearly as Isaiah - but give me the faith to know
that you are on your throne, that your presence fills the world even when
things are chaotic.
