June 14, Seraphim, Isaiah, and You!

What about you? How much does God love you? What special mission does He have for you?

A man who recognized he was a mere sinner stood in the presence of the Lord God Almighty in the temple. The glory of God filled the place. There were angels called seraphim there. He described them in detail. Read about it in Isaiah 6. The man Isaiah had no reason to lie. Read his story and believe it. Isaiah discovered how much God loved him and how much God would ask him to do.

Studying angels, we find them amazing! Although they are impressive, they never point to themselves. They point us to the Lord. When we catch a glimpse of God, we realize that we are inadequate in our natural state to approach Him. But we must! He has revealed Himself to us, and He will some day bring us into the presence of His glory. Ironically while we feel so deficient because of our vile, sinful nature, we have an urgency to ask Him to change us and use us. We cannot escape our potential for service.

He tells us that we are created in His image for His purpose. Only through the aacrifice of the Son can we find the peace of God’s presence.
