Holy, Holy, Holy

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭6‬:‭3,8         

”And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”“

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭6‬:‭3‬ ‭NIV

”Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”“

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Throughout Scripture we see a powerful principle exemplified when God is seen for who He truly is, the natural response of the seer is full and absolute devotion.

When God reveals His glory, love, power, holiness, and splendor, the seer responds with absolute commitment and worship. I believe that God would reveal Himself to us today in simple but mighty ways.

I believe that He longs for us to see Him as He truly is, and that His chief desire is our devotion. May we see God face to face  today and be forever changed by a fresh revelation of this God who would give up everything for relationship with us.

Isaiah 6 exemplifies both a vision of God and a response of devotion. Isaiah has an open vision of the Majesty of God in heaven. He sees God on His throne and hears angels declaring His holiness and splendor by saying, "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory”

And in response to this vision Isaiah 6:8 says, "And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?' Then I said, 'Here I am! Send me."" Isaiah responds to seeing God with full devotion.

God doesn't ask for our devotion the way man does. God doesn't offer us ultimatums or transactionally based benefits if we will love Him. Devotion to Him is meant to be the natural response of seeing God for who He is, because He is inherently worthy of every bit of devotion we can bring to Him.

He is worthy of our allegiance because He is the King of kings. He is worthy of our obedience because His will is both knowable and perfect. He is worthy of our worship because He is the almighty God to whom all creation offers ceaseless praise.

And He is worthy of our heart because He is the God of love and mercy who has created us for relationship with Him. Too often we mistake God's mercy and grace as opportunities to go our own way and come back to Him as we please or when we need something.

Too often we treat His love as an opiate for our problems rather than the foundation on which we devote our lives in humble submission to Him.

God is patient. He is kind. He will never force or manipulate us into loving Him. But His patience, kindness, and gentleness do not change the fact that He is King of kings, Lord of lords, and Creator of all, and that He is worthy and deserving of our ceaseless devotion.

Run to meet your God in the secret place today. Look upon His face and see Him for both the loving and majestic God He is. He longs to reveal His nature to us. He longs for us to search out the depths of Him and be awed by His wonder and mystery.

Astonishing as Isaiah's magnificent vision of God's glory is, where He glimpsed the Lord seated in the wonderful splendour of His heavenly Temple, the truth for those in the Body of Christ, is far more staggering in this Church age, for we have become the chosen Temple of God's Holy Spirit. We have been selected to be used as the place in which the divine Creator has chosen to reside.

The Body of Christ, which is the Church, has been chosen by God to be His permanent dwelling place, throughout time and into the eternal ages to come, for our bodies are a temple of the living God and the Spirit of God dwells within each one of us.

If we were truly to catch one glimpse of the awesome nature of this reality, we would be forever stripped of all our own vain-glories, self-importance, pride, presumption, and arrogance. But too often, those that have been saved by grace through faith in Christ are glaringly ignorant of the incalculably, privileged position we hold.

If we really came to terms with the reality of the position we hold as the dwelling place of the Most High God, we would also prostrate our humbled being before His Holy Presence, and whisper with Isaiah, "Lord, here am I, send me."

Spend time in prayer meeting with your loving heavenly Father and responding to His nature with our love, worship, and devotion!!!
