Bible Reading: Isaiah 6 (ESV)
Memory verse: Isaiah 6: 4
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.
Good evening, ladies, and gentlemen! Welcome to another blog post this week! We are eight days into the month of November, how has it been for you? This month is important! Each day, continue to renew your strength in the Lord! Continue to wait upon Him and tarry in His Presence! For the month shall surely end in Praise and Glory! Hallelujah!!
Today, we continue the “Isaiah’s Truths” series with the last Part of this three-part exposé on who God is! This mini-series has been awesome by God’s Grace! Many things have been revealed! We pray that these posts have served as a reminder to all, of the Lord we serve! Most importantly, we pray that these posts have been helped us to worship God in a different light! Well, are you ready for the post today? Let us get right into the post for the day…
The verse begins by expressing the sheer power and magnitude of God’s voice! The verse tells us that His voice caused the foundations of the threshold to shake! In this case the threshold is the place of the throne room- which could be the Holy of Holy (the residence of our Lord). Let us try to get a picture of this! The only know thing that can cause the foundations of a strong/ solid construction to shake is an earthquake. Look at the aftereffects of an earthquake! Earthquake can be felt by many, over a large area. Buildings sway from left to right! Many of them just collapse and fall to the ground. If you have ever experienced a mild quake or tremor, you might be able to identify with this much better! During such a time, our first instinct is to hide or run because we are afraid of what would happen to us! Just imagine this, if the voice our Father holds so much power and authority that it causes the heavens and the throne to tremble, why do you think that when He speaks, your issue would not be solved? From our previous posts, we have established how Glorious and Mighty the presence of God is! He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. He commands everything in the heavens and on earth- both physical and spiritual! His presence commands fear because He is Holy! Why do we feel abandoned when things do not go our way? Don’t you think that God’s words are final? Don’t you think God’s voice commands things to becoming reality? Why fret? Look at the creation story! God said a few words and it came alive! This is just to remind you of the God we serve! Most importantly to encourage you; God is doing something; you just can’t see it with your physical eyes! He is up to something for you! Hallelujah!
The second part of this verse talks about the power Glory and Holiness of God! God’s Holiness is so heavy and pure; it can be likened to smoke filling up the house! Yes! This is what make God a Superior Being! In previous verses, we have seen how the seraphim must use their wings to cover themselves from the brightness that radiates from God. In this verse, we see that His words cause “…the house to be filled with smoke!” Smoke only comes with fire! This shows you that Gods words have fire in them! Fire to cook something or fire to burn! Try to imagine this! On stage, we an artiste is about to perform, there is a lot of smoke effects on stage. This is used, most times, just when the artiste is about to perform- just as an element of surpri
