“2Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3And one called to another and said: ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!’” – Isaiah 6:2-3 (ESV)
The seraphim, great beings of tremendous power. They are seen here in Isaiah’s vision and he sees them in positions of understanding the power and glory of God. They cover their face and feet to yield to the glory of God. As they fly they shout to one another of the glory of God.
I am a simple human in this world and I should believe in God on my own. I should bow to His glory and know that He is great and I am lowly. I should, take my cues from others and do as they do. If the powerful seraphim bow to God, shouldn’t I do the same?
In society, we are bombarded to lift others up into positions of power and authority. We are called on to recognize that authority and be in awe of it. God’s word tells us to respect the authority, not to lift them to a place of awe. That place is reserved for God as noted in the verses above.
As I follower of Christ, it is my duty to raise Him up and to demonstrate the glory for Him that He deserves. I should be recognizing the glory of God.
Who is it that you are recognizing? Are you placing man in the position of glory? What if you were to recognize God and the one deserving of glory and give it to Him?
