Success can make us proud, leading us to believe that we do not need God. Some, having lost all fear of the Lord, may even think of Him only as a cosmic power that lives to serve us. Does your prayer life assume that God exists only to fulfill your needs? Or do your prayers include repentance and thanksgiving to the Lord, who is holy? Alistair Begg helps us look to Isaiah 6 for guidance on seeing the Lord for who He really is.
1In the year that sKing Uzziah died I tsaw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train1 of his robe filled the temple. 2Above him stood the seraphim. Each had usix wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3And one called to another and said:
u“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
vthe whole earth is full of his glory!”2
4And wthe foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and xthe house was filled with smoke. 5And I said: “Woe is me! yFor I am lost; zfor 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 aKing, the Lord of hosts!”
6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7And he btouched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
8And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for cus?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.”
