“I Saw Also the Lord”

“In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.” – Isaiah 6:1

The Prophet, Isaiah, was seeing great disappointment and sensed consternation for the good King had died. His human eyes saw the demise of a King who had been good for Judah. He had just lost one who respected the Prophet and the Word of the Prophet. He, however, was able to see more than the death of a King. He saw the living, Lord!

It behooves us today to also see the living Lord, as we look around at all the death, decay, and disorder in the land. When our eyes are placed exclusively on this world and wicked events, we are sure to be overwhelmed with fear and anxiety. The Lord has not budged from His lofty position and He is still on schedule with the care of His own and His ultimate plan for this world. We just need to make sure that our “seeing” also includes the Lord!
