THAT'S HUGE!

Isaiah 6: 1 – 10

There is a commercial on TV right now for a cruise line, in it they allegedly set a worlds record for playing with the worlds largest beach ball. Watching that ball come off the top of the building they throw it off, well it must have been something quite impressive to see live, the ball looked huge drifting slowly to the street below, while the people on the ground gasped in wonder.
Now, if we can imagine a beach ball as impressive, what must it have been like for Isaiah when he saw the Lord in his vision at the temple.

1 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.
2 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.
3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

Spectacular. To envision the glory of God in such a way, to increase in knowledge of the relationship that God has with His people, is an option given to us every day as we meditate and increase our relationship with our Father.

5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."

But, here is the stumbling block. Our sin always gets in the way of our relationship with God. No matter how much we try, we can't bridge that gap, nor can we keep from sinning. Thankfully, our Father God can.

6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."

PRAISE GOD!
Now we can easily enter into His kingdom, His courts, with boldness singing praises to His name. We get to Know him more fully.

THAT'S HUGE!
