All Things Learned | Isaiah and Yahweh

Things read today that are just too amazing not to share:


1In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3And one called to another and said:


  "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!"

 4And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5And I said: "Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
 6Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7And he touched my mouth and said: "Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for."
 8And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."
Isaiah 6:1-8

"God doesn't need to exaggerate His abilities. He never makes a promise he cannot keep. If you live in a way that respects God's commands you will find that the name of the Lord [Yahweh] can always be relied upon, no matter what threatens you." -Ann Spangler, Praying the Names of God

The Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared. -Proverbs 3.26
The name of the Lord [Yahweh] is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. -Proverbs 18:10

Happy weekend, everyone!
