Respond to Revelation & Call
Wickedness has permeated
every fiber of Judah – a condition
which God finds intolerable.
Isaiah’s national call for repentance
is so urgent that even his personal
Call & Commission to the prophetic
office must wait until chapter 6.
The task set before Isaiah is an
unenviable one, for God said the
people will be spiritually deaf and
nearsighted. Having encountered
God, Isaiah begins to declare harsh
words from on high with confidence
in the courts and palaces of Judah.
Lord, You are Holy & In Control:
I saw the Lord Sitting on a Throne,
high and lifted up… Above it stood
seraphim… And one cried & said:
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts
The whole earth is full of His glory!
Woe to me, I cried: For I am a man
of unclean lips, and my eyes have
seen the King, the Lord Almighty.
Then one seraphim flew to me,
having in his hand a live coal from
the altar. And he touched my mouth
& said: Your iniquity is Taken Away
and your sin purged (Isa 6:1-6).
I heard the Lord asking: Whom
should I send as a messenger to this
people? Who will go for us? Then
I said: Here am I. Send me (v8-9).
Lord, all praise and honour to You
for Sitting on the Throne & by faith
I proclaim that You reign over all.
You are In Control and everyone
and everything is subject to You.
When my faith is weak & I despair because of challenges, remind me Lord that You are still in charge.
Give me a vision of Your kingship
over the whole world and over
my world. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Lord, whenever I sense Your holy
presence, I am greatly aware of
my Own Unworthiness. That really
makes me even More Grateful
for how much You had sacrificed
for me. Touch and purify me and
help me to separate myself from
all that is unholy. And I can come
before Your holy throne with
confidence to find Your mercy
and grace in time of need. Amen.
Lord, You are glorious & magnificent;
and I adore You for Your willingness
to share Your presence with me.
Reveal more of Yourself to me; and
grant me the atmosphere in which Your words are abundant and clear. Open my ears Lord to hear of what You have for me; to be and to do.
And help me have a tender heart
to respond positively to Your plan
so that I’ll do the good works that
You have prepared for me. Amen.
