Scripture: Isaiah 1:1 (NIV): "The vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, Kings of Judah."

Thought: To me, our current culture has seemingly forgotten that God is sovereign over us all.

Question: Can I envision what God has seen?

Do we see "visions" as Isaiah did? We need to--all during the passing of time and kings. Though this vision is "concerning Judah and Jerusalem", God's chosen people and their center of worship, it is valid for all of us to hear. We are all "His chosen ones" if we believe. God is sovereign over every leader, over every period of time, over every nation. All places, peoples, kings and events lie within His Almighty control. We should widen our vision to include this vision of Isaiah so that we may learn what God would have us learn!

Prayer: King of All, help me to "open my eyes that I may see"! Enable me to stretch beyond my own concerns. Amen.
