Look with Eyes of Faith

"In the year the King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, and His robe filled the temple" (Isa. 6:1, HCSB).

The connection of Uzziah's passing and Isaiah's vision is easy to miss. Isaiah, like many in his day, thought the world of King Uzziah. His death might mean that his throne was left to lesser men. Isaiah, like many righteous people, shudder to think about what would happen to that empty throne.

In the midst of his grief, God gave Isaiah a vision. He reminded Isaiah that there is a greater throne than the one the king set upon. Although, Uzziah had died, Yahweh still sat enthroned. His control would not waiver. His strength would not wane.

There is no crisis so great, that a true glimpse of God can't overcome. There is no darkness so deep, that God's light can't penetrate. If we will look with eyes of faith, and see Him seated on His high and lofty throne, we can find the strength to face the dark, difficult days ahead.
