Hello Church,
In the year that King Uzziah died, Isaiah saw the Lord high and lifted up (Is. 6:1). While Uzziah was king, the nation Israel prospered and flourished. They were the envy of all the other nations, BUT what happened to Uzziah that all that is said of him at the end of his life is that HE DIED A LEPER. We see that Uzziah allowed pride to come into his life by going into the Temple to offer incense on the altar. This act that Uzziah did is a type of a society and its leadership becoming their own judge of what is right and what is wrong.
Can we ask a question – Where did America get the idea that we are as God – that we can declare what is good and what is evil? Why do we think we can transgress (go beyond the bounds of a moral standard) the Word of God, which was once America’s foundation and not pay a price for it? Much of society and sadly much of the church have suppressed the truth we once knew, and as a result, we have subjected ourselves to living in an illusion and opened ourselves up to a diseased mind.
How does God respond to a nation that finds itself in this condition? God always looks for a man or a woman that He can bring into His presence. When we are drawn into God’s presence we not only have a revelation of His majesty, power, holiness and glory, BUT we also see ourselves as UNDONE as a person of UNCLEAN LIPS. It’s when we see ourselves like this that we realize that there is nothing you and I can do of our self – no sacrifice we can make – no good thing we can do that will ever give us the right to stand in the presence of a holy God.
CHURCH – it’s God’s heart to use those who have been humbled in the sight of the Lord because they have a tendency to have compassion for people in society who are indulging in all sorts of behavior. These people will speak of the truth of the Lord – they have a message and that message is, “God is good and His mercy endures forever.”
This is not a time to be quiet and silent. The ungodliness of this generation will not go away on its own – it has to be conquered by you and me, the lights of the world – WE ARE THE HOPE OF THIS GENERATION.
Be like Isaiah and say, “Here am I Lord, send me.”
