Holy Holy Holy

One of my favorite chapters in the bible is Isaiah 6. It talks about being in the glory of God!! For just a moment try to imagine this scene:

In the middle of the temple of the Most High God, sits the most spectacular throne, covered in gold and all kinds of jewels. The temple is full of God's Glory. Two majestic beings with two wings shielding their eyes and two covering their feet and two to fly, proclaimed the glory of God saying, 

"Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory." 

The earth trembled and the temple filled with smoke because of the glory of the Almighty God!! All Isaiah could say was, "Woe is me."

Isaiah recognized his sin the presence of a holy God! In Colossians 1:21-22, it says, “And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him.” Because of Jesus atoning sacrifice, we too can stand blameless before a holy God. The rest of the chapter goes on to show how God in his mercy, provides his people with his words through Isaiah. One of my favorite phrases comes from this passage, "Here am I send me." Isaiah was willing to be used by God for what ever purposes! I daily cry out to God saying, Here am I send me to do your will!

“In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!” And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” And he said, “Go, and say to this people: “‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and blind their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.” Then I said, “How long, O Lord?” And he said: “Until cities lie waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the land is a desolate waste, and the Lord removes people far away, and the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land. And though a tenth remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or an oak, whose stump remains when it is felled.” The holy seed is its stump.”
