Sight: he saw the Lord

Isaiah 6:1-4
Isaiah had a life-changing vision of Jesus Christ [John 12:38-41]. The throne  of Judah  had changed occupants, but God was still on His throne and on perfect  control of everything.

When you worship, focus on God’s holiness, sovereignty, and glory. When things on earth are discouraging,  start looking  at things  from heaven’s point of view.

Questions in 1 Chronicles

17:16
Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:
  “Who am I, Lord God, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far?

17:18
“What more can David say to you for honoring your servant? For you know your servant,

17:21
And who is like your people Israel—the one nation on earth whose God went out to redeem  a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt?

Colossians 3:4

“When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.”

Today, my world is beautiful — great weather, wonderful church, loving spouse, great kids, and blessed with all I truly need. But this will change. Life is bound up with mortality. Love is connected with imperfect people. Separation by geographical distance, disagreement, and death are bound to happen to a certain extent. The incredible blessing I have in Christ, however, is that my true and lasting life is hidden with Christ in God. So while things may be good in my life now, they're always vulnerable to being touched by mortality. When Christ comes, they will be gloriously perfect and unstained by evil, death, or decay. Now that's good news!
