Isaiah 6:1
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Good morning.... it's Special Sunday once again!
With reference to our focus verse today, have you ever wondered exactly what Isaiah saw that day so long ago? He saw the Lord! Yes! He saw the Lord, sitting on a throne, and He was high and lifted up with a train that filled the temple. That must have been an awesome sight as well as an awesome experience for Isaiah!
Regarding "the train" of the Lord, I once heard a minister say that the train was the border of a warrior's robe where symbols of victories were attached. The minister went on to say that there are so many victories that the Lord has won for us, and when we view Him as Isaiah did, we can look back at those victories and rejoice. If God has won a victory for us in the past, He can do it again!
We can view the Lord as Isaiah did, in the Spirit, in the sanctuary today, and every time we get into the presence of the Lord. If we enter His presence with expectation and anticipation, He will meet us there. Like Moses, we can ask God to show us His "glory," and He will allow us that privilege. There's nothing like beholding the Lord as He really is - high and lifted up, filling the place with His train of victories and all His glory!
I love this song by the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir:
High and lifted up in all the earth is who You are
High and lifted up in all the earth is who You are
High and lifted up in all the earth is who You are
Lord, we exalt Your name
Lord, we exalt Your name
Within a few hours, it will be time to congregate at church, and I pray that we all enter the gates with thanksgiving and the courts with praise. Worship the Lord in sincerity and truth, and He'll show up in all His glory - just for us!!! Then, we can say as Isaiah did, "I saw the Lord....."
Until tomorrow, Lord willing............... Have a Special Sunday!!!
