from Jack Hayford's book "A Heart of Praise"
Isaiah 6
This throne
room scene is an awe-inspiring confrontation with the “Thrice Holy God.” Isaiah is totally melted by the awesome power
of God and can only cry “woe is me!” But
in one of the most profound paradoxes in human experience, Isaiah emerges from
the Heavenly Throne room as a man of vision, direction, strength, and mission.
His trembling
gave way to trust God’s supreme power was transferred to Isaiah. His insufficiency was swallowed up in God’s
all sufficiency! God is not playing games.
He is not disposed to frighten us to death for entering His presence,
but to awe us o life because we have seen His presence.
God wants us
to be able to stand our ground in life’s trials. To do this requires frequent visits to the
Holy Place. We must never hesitate to
come to the Awesome God, though we come in our weakness.
Borrow from
His divine strength and honor Him and praise him as the source of our healing.
Learn from the prodigal son and acknowledge God and return to His
security.
Never believe
the lie that you are too down and weak.
Remember that He’s waiting in the Throne room, not to resist or dispel
you, but to receive and reward you with strength sufficient for every
tomorrow.
Oh God, my
Father, I would not dare to come into your presence without Your having called
me to come, and without the covering of Jesus’ blood. I honor You and magnify Your Name, asking
only that I may be strengthened by being in Your presence. In Christ, my Lord, Amen.
