Good Morning Friends,
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the
Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the
temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they
covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were
flying. And they were calling to one another: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD
Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.’ At the sound of their voices
the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. ‘Woe
to me!’ I cried. ‘I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among
a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.’”
(Isaiah 6:1-5)
When Isaiah saw the Lord for who He really
is, two things became obvious:
God is holy.
Isaiah was not.
There are times when our view of God becomes
less than it ought to be. God has drawn Himself close to us. He has welcomed us
as His children, allowing us to call Him “Father.” And even more intimate, we
can call Him “Abba,” the kind of title small children use when they speak to their
father. He has entered into a personal relationship with us and made Himself
known to us.
But He hasn’t left His throne! He’s still the
King, the Lord Almighty. He is worthy of our worship and respect, even our awe.
The angels adore Him. They serve Him immediately and gladly.
Step back a moment to gaze again upon the
Lord. See His glory? See His majesty? See His power? See His holiness?
Worship Him! Serve Him! Love Him!
He is worthy!
His, by Grace,
Steve
