3-31-2022 Devotion: little gods

 Isaiah 6: 1, 5: "In the year king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and His train (robe) filled the temple. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts." Yesterday, we saw one error in trying to be holy. Today, we look at a second error. The second error elevates man to be a "little god." They believe they have the right to declare things, to bind the devil, to create things with their words. They believe they are “little gods.”This group is elevating themselves to a place of sovereignty equal to or above the LORD. They believe they are in charge. This is dangerous and heretical. Only God is Sovereign and only God is holy. We must be careful to respect the sacredness of God. To be really in His Presence is to experience the awe and terror of His Perfection. When Isaiah had his encounter with a thrice-holy LORD, he cried woe to himself. Even while he was about to be commissioned as a prophet of the LORD for His people, Isaiah said he was undone (means ruined) and had unclean lips. Today in prayer, ask the Lord to forgive you for the sins you have committed with your tongue. Thank Him for His willingness to forgive you and make you clean. A continual life of prayer and repentance will bring you to a place where God can use you for His kingdom.
