Last night was one of those nights that sleep would just not come....and as you can imagine after me poking Bill a few times...just to see if he really wanted to sleep, I resorted to the laptop. I knew that our friend Andy had just done a youth conference with about 1400 youth attending and had posted it to his blogsite so I set out to see how it went. Much to my excitement it was on Isaiah 6. That is one of my favorite chapters, Yeah, I know I have alot of favorite chapters. The one thing that I was gifted with is seeing and imagining what things would look like, so to read this to me is like I am standing right there in the moment, I see it, I feel it and I experience it.....
"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 shook and the temple was filled with smoke."
WOW! Can't you just imagine the imagery in that. God doesn't come on a small scale, BUT.....High and Exalted and the train of his robe filling a temple. Do you know how big a temple is....that is a train that would make any bride jealous. And above him were seraphs and the radiance of His glory was so bright that they could not bare to gaze upon Him. And the echoing of Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty....rings in my ears. It doesn't say that Isaiah fell to his knees but I can only imagine he had no other way he could go as we hear him say "woe to me, I am ruined, and I live amoung a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty." Guess I'll take a few sleepless nights for a sight such as this....
Isaiah 6
