9/10/2010 - Isaiah 6:1-7 What Happens When You Come Face to Face With God

Posted in Unspecified

SCRIPTURE Isaiah 6:1-7 It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. 2 Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 They were calling out to each other, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!” 4 Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke. 5 Then I said, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7 He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.” 8 Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?”

OBSERVATION: Being in God's presence brought awe, repentance, cleansing and a willingness to be sent out for God. It is what we all need. It is what we all should be wanting to experience.

APPLICATION: I need to bathe regularly in God's presence. I need to be reminded of His greatness and of my need for change. I need to experience, regularly, the cleansing that only He can bring about. I need to know that I am "on a mission from God" because I have heard it directly from His mouth.

PRAYER: Help!! I need to to know You more deeply and really than ever before. Forgive me my lack of passionate pursuit of knowing You. I know that it would/will make all the difference.
