Isaiah - Day 113

Scripture:  Isaiah 6:4 (NIV):  "At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke."

Thought:  To me, it is with great longing that I read of God's physically manifested presence and the angelic praise of such power.

Question:  Will I shake at the voice of the angels?

The exclamation by the angels of God's holiness and glory is very powerful and dramatic.  Oh, that we had this kind of praise on the earth today!  "The doorposts and thresholds shook":  usually any power that threatens the integrity of a large building strikes fear in us!  We worry when the realities around us are threatened by destruction.  We are at the mercy of forces beyond our control.  Here God and His heavenly host have our full attention!  "The temple was filled with smoke":  this is reminiscent of Moses' day and the initial indwelling of the tabernacle and temple by God.  He manifested His promised presence by smoke so all could see He had indeed come to them.

This is a scene we know nothing about firsthand today--we are so unused to it.  Let us be in awe of God!  Let us join the angels in loud praises of His holiness!  Let us tremble in fear at God's tremendous perfection and power!

Prayer:  All-powerful Father, I thank You that Your awesomeness and the praise of Your angels fills heaven.  Bring this to us here on earth--may Your Kingdom come!  Amen.
