Face to face

"Face to face"

"In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple"_ Isaiah 6:1

Being face-to-face with famous people can be pretty scary and exciting. I’ve met a few people in the past. When you see these people ‘from the TV’ in real life, it’s a bit weird!

It’s easy to get a bit tongue-tied when meeting famous people. And it’s easy to get a bit obsessed with the celebrities we follow on Twitter, wishing we were anything like them. But that’s nothing compared to what Isaiah saw “in the year that King Uzziah died” (ISAIAH 6:1). Isaiah experienced something so amazing and terrifying that nothing could compare to it—he stood face-to-face with God!

In a vision, God showed Isaiah who He really was. What Isaiah saw totally changed him. He saw God’s awesomeness. He got a fresh understanding of God’s holiness. He saw the massive difference between his sinfulness and God’s perfection. He heard God’s voice, and he spoke with Him.

Today, we can see God in the Bible and in the Spirit’s work in and through us. And we can spend personal time with Him in prayer. But one day in heaven, we will see Him face-to-face (1 JOHN 3:2). Now that will take our breath away!

"NEVER FORGET HOW AMAZING IT IS TO MEET WITH GOD!"

"Good morning."
"Have a blessed week ahead"
