Angels’ worship

Isaiah 6:1-5

The book of Isaiah is believed to be written by 3 people.

1. 1 – 39 => Before journey (exilic)
2. 40 – 55 => during journey
3. 56 – 66 => after journey
   

This is a picture of Isaiah being called and the vision seen in the temple.

v1: says the time this happened (42BC). We should be able to feel the presence in our daily prayers.

1. To know Jesus more clearly
2. To love Jesus more dearly
3. To follow Jesus more closely.
   

Some years of our lives are important for us, like the year of a child’s birth or some grief or happiness. The year of the death of Uzzaiah is also an important date.

[In John 4, we see that the Samarian woman, who sees Jesus, gets the entire village to Him.]

God touched Isaiah and he came closer to God. God should be in the centre of our worship. The centre of all the glory of worship should be God.

• The angels’ worship was a stimulating worship: Some people don’t find our Sunday worship “stimulating” enough. This is not because of the achen or the person next to you. To make worship stimulating, you need to work on it. You need to take part in it whole heartedly. There are a lot of worship centres in our current world. There are free worship services coming up everywhere. Amidst all this, the feeling of wanting to worship God is important.
• It was a shaking worship (v4): Today people move about without any change to their hearts. People are getting sensitive to religion, but there is no religious life.
• It was a convicting worship (v5): It made a person to realize his sins. Does our worship make us realize this? We all have a secret life. Are we able to talk to God about it and ask for forgiveness? We should be able to tell God our shortcomings and God will help us overcome those. Isaiah told God hi shortcomings (v5) and God help him out (v6).
• It was a cleansing worship (v7)
• It was a commissioning worship (v8-9): People shouldn’t say, “Jesus, save me from your followers”. To make sure this doesn’t happen, we need to be true followers. Not superficial followers of God.
  

Outlook to things is everything. Here is a story to depict it. Two shoe salesmen go to a village. One says, “No one wears shoes there. No hope for our market.” The other says, “No one wears shoes there. Hence we have a huge scope for our market.”
