Lord, please help me do this.
I read today’s Daily Devotion, and at first I was jealous of Isaiah. There is nothing so convincing as tangible, quantifiable proof. He actually saw God face to face. It was a creditable vision, and he was granted the “magnificent and terrifying” privilege of seeing Him in all His glory.
“It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple.
Isaiah 6:1 NLT
But when I thought about it again, I don’t think I would have been up to it. “He saw the contrast between his sinful self and God’s perfection.” Right now I’m imagining a vision of God as a great big white supernova of light, brighter than the sun, and me as a speck of dust, black as sin and trembling under His powerful rays. Kind of extreme I know. But that’s really how it feels like sometimes.
Especially today.
