God Reveals then Calls You
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 Call
to the prophetic office must wait.
The task before Isaiah is unenviable,
for God said the people will be
spiritually deaf and nearsighted.
Having encountered God, Isaiah
begins to declare harsh words with
confidence in the courts 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 from all that is unholy.
And I can come before Your holy
throne with confidence to find Your
mercy & 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.
