A Call To Serve

Isaiah 6:1  

"In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the 

Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, 

and his train filled the temple." 

      Kings die; Jesus lives! We are here reminded of Acts 22:17-18, "And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance; And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me." 

      How great the contrast between the worship of these seraphim in the Unseen Holy and man’s hasty, and halfhearted rites! Six wings: two for meditation, two for humility, and two for service. Service should take only a third of our energy. One cry unto another, and one inspired spirit will awaken others. The threefold repetition of the word holy, implies the Trinity; and my friend if door posts tremble, how much more should the hearts of sinful men tremble! 

      Isaiah, in the previous chapter, had uttered six woes against others, but his seventh and sorest woe is against himself. The sinner, like the leper, cries, Unclean! Lev. 13:45. The seraph did not wait to be told; he knew that there was only one cure for such need as the prophet’s, Is. 6:9-13. When men refuse God’s offered grace, every refusal hardens. It is either “the savor of death unto death” or of “life unto life,” 2 Cor. 2:16. The life of the oak and the terebinth (A small tree from the cashew family that was formerly a source of turpentine) only seems to become extinct in winter; there is revival in the spring. Is it winter with you? Pray for the springtime! 

Amen!!
