Isaiah 6:5
And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of
unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”
When we go into the presence of God, anything that is not
pleasing to Him will come to mind. We
cannot get by with a general sense of sinfulness. The Holy Spirit will not rest until we have
been convicted of our particular sin.
When Isaiah came upon the vision of the Lord and saw His
holiness, Isaiah immediately proclaimed that he was a man of unclean lips. Isaiah knew that he would not be able to
serve the Lord without cleansing himself from the sin that he had been shown.
God will work the same way with each of us. Through His Holy Spirit, He will convict us
of a single point of iniquity. Then He
will lead us to deeper revelation of the things in our lives that are
displeasing to Him until we are properly prepared to serve Him.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank You for the restlessness that the Holy
Spirit brings upon us when we are walking in darkness. We thank You for the absolute focus that You
put on our sins, making it impossible for us to take on a vague sense of the
sinfulness in our lives. We pray the
Holy Spirit will bring our every iniquity into the light so that we may repent
and move forward in obedience to Your calling on our lives. We ask all these things in the name of the Perfecter of Our Faith, Jesus Christ.
