In this next week, I invite you to dwell on who God is and specifically today, God’s holiness. In this passage, Isaiah is caught up into heaven where he sees what a human can understand of the majesty, beauty, and utmost holiness of God. And his reaction is the only one that a human could possibly have; one of falling on one’s face in worship but also terrifying awe at this immensely holy being. Please reflect on what it means to see God as he truly is, a holy, generous, loving, terrifying God.

Isaiah 6:1-6

In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”

4 And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
