Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. —Isaiah 6:5
When Jesus is revealed in His glory, a new hunger for purity results. Isaiah saw the Lord lifted up and cried out for his own cleansing; then he offered himself for any service the Lord wanted, crying out, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isa. 6:8). Jesus is not coming for a church that’s gritting her teeth, struggling to stay free from sin, secretly wishing she could indulge in a little immorality. No, Jesus is coming for a church utterly devoted to Him—one that is free on the inside.
{ PRAYER STARTER }
Lord, the revelation of who You are—to me and to this world—motivates me to the highest level of obedience to Your Word. I want to be Your bride without spot or wrinkle and to stand before You in absolute purity.
The greatest motivation for obedience comes as we
encounter more revelation of who Jesus is.
