Welcome to Elmhurst CRC's Daily Dose of the Word of God. It's Tuesday, October 22 and it's the season of green and growing things because God is on a mission to keep us growing up, in and out. This morning we're reading Isaiah 6, verses 1 through 7 from our Children's Bible.

Isaiah's vision. At the time when King Jeroboam the second was enjoying his long and prosperous reign in Israel, King Uzziah was on the throne in Judah. He too had a long and prosperous reign and for most of his life, he loved and obeyed God. When he died, the people wondered what would happen next in Judah. Young Isaiah was a nobleman who shared these feelings. One day when he was at the temple thinking and praying about the future of his country, he had a wonderful vision of God. Describing it afterwards, he said, "I saw God sitting on his throne high above all. His royal robe filled the temple. Creatures of flame stood around him, shielding their faces with their wings from the brightness of God's glory. They kept calling to each other, 'holy, holy, holy. The Lord Almighty is holy.His glory fills the whole world.' As the sound of their voices pulsed through the temple, the whole building seemed to shiver and shake. Billowing smoke filled the whole place - I was terrified. God was so great and good and I felt wretched and ashamed. I called out, 'what will become of me? I have seen God the Holy One and I am sinful. I belong to a wicked nation.'Then one of the fiery creatures flew towards me. He had picked up a live coal with tongs from the altar, and he touched my lips with it. 'you are made clean,' he said, 'and your sin is forgiven.' Then God spoke. 'who can I send?' He asked. 'Who will be my messenger?' At once I answered, 'I'll go.Send me.'" God gave Isaiah his message, but he warned him in advance that the people would be hard hearted. They would not listen to him or tell God they were sorry, but Isaiah was still willing to be God's prophet.

Let's pray together. Dear good and great Heavenly Father, thank you for forgiving our sins and making us clean. We ask that you use us for your work. We want to be your messengers. We want to share your word and your love. To you be all glory, amen.
