Tuesday
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. 2 Around 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. 3 They 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 became 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. 7 He 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
In Isaiah 6 the prophet encounters God, the
Lord Almighty in the temple. As his lips
are purified he experiences the redemptive power of Jesus the Son of God, and
as he says: "Go, send me..."
He is empowered by the sanctifying Holy Spirit.
Pray
Lord God Almighty, help me to experience
you as Almighty God, Redeemer, and Holy Spirit empowerer.
