Throne

The Israelites believed that Yahweh was their king-–in Hebrew, Melek. He was the ultimate authority over Israel and every nation on earth. He reigned in power and majesty. They believed the temple in Jerusalem was the earthly symbol of God’s heavenly throne. God was their Melek; they were his servants.

Isaiah had never seen anything like it. Before him was the Lord seated in all majesty and might, surrounded by angels who had to cover their faces (they could not look directly at God’s glory) and feet (acknowledging their lowliness) as they hovered around the throne. Here’s what Isaiah saw.

Jesus is the One you’ve been waiting for. Have you asked him to be your King and rule on the throne of your heart?

Jesus felt sin’s entire power, its total force. He was tempted but never gave in.

We know that God is working through all the circumstances of our lives. We are confident that God will complete the good work He has started in us. In one word . . . we, the sons and daughters of God, are . . . rich!

God is always on His heavenly throne . . . and He never takes His eyes off you!
