Isaiah 6: Perspective Am I one that hears but does not understand? Do I see but not perceive? Or will I turn to Jehovah, be healed, and understand with my heart? All the little stresses that build up in this life. Constant fighting against not enough time in each day. Frustrations and anger arising from perceived injustices around me. The unsatisfactory desire to want others to like me more. The countless distractions of meaningless things to pop up all day long. All of this is vanity when standing before the presence of the thrice Holy God. Am I focusing on what is truly important each day, each hour? Am I asking myself “does this bring God glory or am I being selfish and putting myself before God’s will?” Isaiah describes his vision with God in Isaiah 6 to help us put life into perspective. Standing before the presence of God wiped from his mind all the meaningless things in life. His sins were displayed like blood on a sheep’s wool. How great God is and how sinful we are. My sins will be atoned for through Christ, but that doesn’t excuse me from living a transformed life. May God give me the strength and grace to do so!
