And
one called to another and said, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory! - Isaiah 6:3
I think this is a fine passage to start a day with. Look around you this morning. I know it’s easy to concentrate on the
negative, especially when you haven’t even had your first cup of coffee, but
still. “Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”
True even if you are coffeeless and maybe even adding insult to that by watching the
morning news. It’s a fine passage to start the day with.
It is.
It really is. If you are able to
take a breath this morning, give him the glory.
If you are able to look around and see color, give him the glory. If you are able to lift your head and listen
to music, give him the glory. If your cat is begging you to give it a rub on
the top of the head (an every morning experience for me), give him the
glory. If you can smell the sweetness of
frying bacon (oh yeah, but not every morning), give him the glory. If you have someone in your life that is
willing to share their life with you, including all the ups and downs, give him
the glory. If you have a friend or two
that you can share a deep thought with, or a silly joke with, or the baseball score
with or…. Give him the glory.
Here is a revelation.
Everything around you is a miracle. Everything you have is a miracle. Everything your are is a miracle. You know
you don’t even have to be a believer to understand this fact. Frankly if you
are not a believer it is even a greater miracle that everything that surrounds
you even exists at all. If you are a
believer, however, everything you see and experience is a reflection of
fullness of his glory. If we can see
this and understand the implication…then we might just want to break out in
song like the seraphim (angel-like beings) and sing “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his
glory!”
It is.
Give him the glory!
