Bible Reading: Isaiah 6:1-7

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.   Isaiah 6:3, NIV


SUPPOSE THAT YOU were a soccer player and your coach told you that you were invited to a big soccer event tomorrow with all the best soccer players in the city.

You get dressed the next day in your soccer shorts, shirt, socks, and cleats. Your clothes are stained with the mud and blood of many tough games, and you wear that ragged, dirt-spattered uniform with pride.

You go to the sports complex, just like your coach told you, but the fields are empty. Then you notice some lights shining in the field house in the middle of the complex. You jog over, open the door, and step in.

Suddenly you’re in the field house, and you blink your eyes in disbelief as you see some of your teammates and opponents dressed up, in clean, fancy clothes. It’s then you realize that you misunderstood your coach: It’s not a game, it’s a banquet! You look down at the outfit you put on not long ago with such pride; it’s wrinkled and dirty compared to what everyone else is wearing. You’re wearing the same clothes you’ve worn dozens of times around these people. Although you didn’t feel dirty during those times, you feel dirty here.

Well, magnify that feeling about a bazillion times, and you know a little bit of how a prophet named Isaiah felt when he had a vision of God in the temple in Jerusalem. Isaiah saw God sitting on a throne, wearing a kingly robe. He saw God’s angels flying around calling to each other. He felt the whole room shake, and the place started filling with smoke.

How did Isaiah react? Did he smile and wave at God?
