Could You Speak?

"In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple. Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called out to another and said, 'Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory.' And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the temple was filling with smoke." (Isaiah 6:1-4)

Isaiah was able to speak - after witnessing the holiness of the Lord.

"Then I said, 'Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.'" (Isaiah 6:5)

What is our response to witnessing the holiness of God? Do we pass on by like it is of no value? Do we tremble and buckle and lay ruined?

I am ruined, Lord. I long to see your holiness. I pray for your glory to fall. May my heart shudder in Your presence and my body lay low in worship. Facedown at Your feet is where I belong.
