In this past Sunday's sermon Pastor Martha shared with us from Isaiah 6:1-13. The prophet Isaiah had a profound worship experience, and in the atmosphere of worship he became conscious of his own unworthiness. As he confessed his sins and the sins of his people, the LORD purified Isaiah and gave him a ministry assignment.
In this narrative we find that Isaiah received clear instructions after engaging in adoration and confession. What was true for Isaiah can be true for us! As we become intentional in taking time for worship and repentant prayer, our God is faithful to open our understanding and point us in the direction He wills us to go.
The atmosphere of worship is not an event reserved for chapels and sanctuaries: it is something we can experience every day, wherever we are. Today, as we go through our day, let us praise God. Let us pray to God. Let us confess to God. Let us wait on God. Let us love God. Let us call to God.
I just want to be where You are,
Dwelling daily in Your presence!
I don't want to worship from afar;
Draw me near to where You are.
(Don Moen)
