What Do You See?
The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with smoke. And [Isaiah] said: “Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” ~ Isaiah 6:4-5
In the year that King Uzziah died, about 742 BCE, God was looking for someone to send. “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?’” Fortunately, a courageous prophet stood nearby. His name was Isaiah.
And it is a magnificent story, the kind of stuff a Hollywood producer would love. Fire and smoke and earthquakes, buildings shaking and a voice from on high.
This is great stuff.
But then Isaiah gets the job description. It isn’t what he thought he was signing up for. But his eyes had seen God, and he couldn’t unsee God. So, he says, “Here am I; send me!” I can’t help but wonder, if one of us catches a glimpse of God, will we go?
