Isaiah - Day 111
versebyverse | September 28, 2008 19:33
Scripture: Isaiah 6:2 (NIV): "Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying."
Thought: To me, visions of the Lord often have accompanying angels.
Question: Do I believe in angels?
Near the Lord in His place of holy residence, are the angels (seraphs or seraphim). The term literally means "burning ones" or "fiery ones", supposedly so-named because of their burning love for God. These angels stand "above him", ready to minister at His first command. To assist their ministering afar each is equipped with two wings for flying. Angels are primarily messengers, so here thy are ready with their wings of flight, to go at His word.
To me, in order to come near to God, the angels must cover their faces and feet with their remaining wings. How awesome He is! How holy His presence and how terribly terrifying to be in His presence! Even the holy angels must approach with coverings for their faces and feet.
Prayer: Lord, when I consider the angels and how they act in Your presence, I am reminded how awesome and even terrifying You are! Help my worship of You to follow in the style of the seraphim as they enter Your presence covered by their wings and in humility. Amen.
