From My Utmost for His Highest
I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: ’Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ’Here am I! Send me’ —Isaiah 6
Isaiah 6, for me, is like 9/11 or the Space Shuttle Challenger. Not that it marked a tragedy like those, but that I still remember where I was when I heard about it the first time.
It was on a recording of a Tim Keller sermon—if you’re curious, I’ll find out which one. It was a lady reading these verses of Isaiah 6. I’d tuned out the Scripture like we often do. I mean, I wanted to listen—I was listening to a recorded sermon, after all. But sometimes, I just glaze over.
What pulled me out of my daze was . . .
her. By the end of the reading, she was crying. Nearly weeping. It wasn’t a show—you know how you can tell someone is just trying to hold it back, but just can’t?
That was the beginning of a love affair I’ve had with this chapter for years. I love the idea of a prideful young man, with designs on the throne—the big show—meeting God in the last place he expected to encounter Him: in church. I know that feeling of presenting unclean/unworthy in front of Him. And I can only imagine how God must have filled that temple.
As you read this chapter, I’m struck by:
When face to face with God, as we all will someday be, those things that seem impossible, improbable, inconvenient or interminable will be our absolute pleasure.
What do you see?
I love you.
