Been going through Isaiah in my Prophets class. I had to read the whole book of Isaiah for it actually. There is so much happening with destruction and judgment. So much power that God holds. Many references to "The Day of the Lord," both to that time and for the time to come, have displays of fire and shouts and thunder and death and might hands!!! What a powerful King we serve! What fear for God we should have like Isaiah did in chapter six when he found himself at the feet of the LORD's throne...surrounded by the holiness of Him Who reigns. Isaiah said "WOE IS ME FOR I AM A MAN OF UNCLEAN LIPS!!!!" I wonder how I can approach this God of holiness...but then I remember...
True, He is just and mighty and worthy of all fear and praise. However.. He also set an example for us in His love and servitude. What a compassionate God we serve.
He will come with all that power and might in a day yet to come, but let us not forget that indeed He has already come to be a part of our lives as a child so sweet to die a death so gruesome so we can reign with Him in the age to come.
Have you thanked Him for it today?
