Daily Manna 29 January
KEY VERSE: “Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” – (Isaiah 6:8)
TEXT: Isaiah 6:1-8
6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”
4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am [a]undone!
Because 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.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. 7 And he touched my mouth with it, and said:
“Behold, this has touched your lips;
Your iniquity is taken away,
And your sin [b]purged.”
8 Also 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.”
There are some experiences that permanently change the direction of our lives and our views about life – for good or bad.
He never thought there was need for personal purging and cleansing in his life. But as he saw this glorious revelation of the majesty of God and His holiness, his own personal weakness and impurity became obvious. God’s dazzling glory made his righteousness fade into insignificance. Seeing how far he was from God’s holiness, he cried out, admitting his uncleanness and need for purging. God saw through the sincerity of his cry and immediately cleansed and re-commissioned him.
This encounter attests to the fact that no man can truly see the glory of God and remain the same. It is appalling to hear some people declare that they had divine revelations of the glory of God and yet their personal lives do not change.

When we truly see the Lord’ glory, there will be a change in our self-assessment. We will realise who we are and our need for cleansing. Grace will alter sin and cause us to experience a regeneration and transformation.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A glimpse of His glory reflects the true distance we keep from Him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Romans 7-9
