Thoughts on worship from Isaiah 6.1-8
In the first eight verses of Isaiah chapter six we have recorded for us Isaiah's vision of the Lord on his throne. I think it is key for us to observe two important things in this passage first the response of seraphim who covered their faces in humility. Second Isaiah verbally responds to being in the presence of the Lord vs.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!". What is important in both of these responses is both parties showed humility for themselves in the presence of a Holy Lord. We need to remember first and foremost the God we serve is the one and only Holy God and should be worshiped accordingly.
