With it He touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” Isaiah 6:7
Isaiah had a face to face encounter with the LORD. It was glorious, but what Isaiah saw in the presence of God’s Holiness was his own sinful nature, his unclean lips. He was awed, yet overwhelmed with unworthiness.
Moments away from hearing God’s call, “Whom shall I send?” (verse 8) and shooting his hand in the air calling, “Pick me! Pick me!” Isaiah felt catastrophic unworthiness. God sends an angel to touch Isaiah’s lips, the organ in question, and he is forgiven, purified. Atonement for sin is quickly and freely given.
Satan’s weapon of choice is man’s natural instinct to compare himself to God’s beautiful Holiness and find himself lacking. Disarm your evil foe!! Heaven’s caress is for you too. Lift your face to the Son, feel the touch of God upon you and stand strong in the power of His purity.
