Why is it that we tend to hear God most clearly when everything has fallen apart? Oh, that's what you've been saying all along. It's not that God wasn't always speaking, but that we weren't always listening, or perhaps just not knowing exactly how to hear or what to listen for. But when a major events happens -- the death of a King, in the context of Isaiah, or the election of a new President, in the context of all of us -- what do we hear from God?
One thing we hear in this Sunday's Narrative Lectionary text (Isaiah 6:1-8) is that God is holy and the whole earth is full of God's glory. No matter what reality we encounter around us, God is holy and the whole earth is still full of God's glory. The challenge, often, is having eyes to see it, ears to hear it, and the courage to respond to: "Here am I; send me!"
