Daily Devotion - Isaiah 6:1-7 - Learning to Behold God
Read Isaiah 6:1-7
What stands out to you in this passage? This is one of my favorite passages in the Bible. I find this particular scene to be incredibly evocative—it makes me want to behold God. It stirs such awe and wonder within me. He leaves me awe-struck. You may have read this particular story before and, if so, I encourage you to put yourself in the story. Try to imagine what is happening in this incredible scene!
How would you have reacted if you saw God in all His splendor?
Isaiah's first response is repentance. He immediately confesses his sinful state when confronted with the pure holiness of Almighty God. Here we see that God doesn't use His omnipotent glory to punish or demean the lowly Isaiah. Instead, He honors Isaiah's humility and heals him. And God does the same for us too! When we understand our sinful nature and humbly confess our sins to God, He extends forgiveness, healing, and freedom to us.
God is good and God is great. We see both of these attributes in full display in this wondrous story.
Isaiah's repentance is a beautiful form of worship, which is just as incredible as the angels' response to God's glory in this passage. These amazing creatures (who are so weirdly described that I can't even fully picture them) were declaring God's holiness. They were speaking truth, calling to each other the sweet song about God's character. They were proclaiming His goodness to whoever would listen.
Isaiah likely went through a roller coaster of emotions in this passage: sorrow, fear, awe, lament, and more. These verses remind me that no matter how we're feeling or what we've been through, God's greatness is still true. His holiness is still intact. But He isn't out of sync with how we're feeling, nor is He dismissive of us. God meets with us because He loves us. He is gentle, caring, and kind while also being righteous, just, and holy.
We serve an immensely glorious God who seeks to be with us. No matter how we're feeling today, let's embrace His presence. Let's behold Him today!
