Today: [Isaiah 6] Here am I Lord Send Me! In chapter six of Isaiah the young prophet enters the environs of the temple and in a moment of blazing glory and holy fire he sees the Lord sitting upon the throne. In that very year king Uzziah has died after a long illness brought upon him because he presumed to look upon the very glory and vision of God that Isaiah now beholds in this vision. Isaiah is undone. He realizes that the sickness that took his king’s life afflicts his own soul and the heart of his own nation. He cries out to God for mercy and is touched with the coals from off the altar of God.
