Heaven's Activity

Isaiah 6:2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: (when Isaiah was given a glimpse into the throne room of God, he saw an extraordinary and astonishing spectacle, sights outside and beyond human experience and language, sights which he tried to take in and put words to; the word seraphim means flaming or burning ones, so these other-worldly creatures are aflame with blazing light, energy, and a splendor unknown to us; though existing beyond our sight, these other-worldly hosts of heaven stand ready to carry out the Lord's commands) With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. (they cover their faces because they are unable to look into the even greater illumination and fire of the glory of God, they cover their feet to show their lowly sense of humility and submission to the profound greatness and sovereignty of God, and they fly to show their compelling desire and quickness to serve God and to do His bidding; like these celestial beings, may our hearts be so moved today that we reverently acknowledge God's greatness, that we are careful to submit our inadequacies and frailties to God, and that we are quick and ready to be in service to God; may the Lord open our eyes to see beyond our circumstances and into the reality of God on His throne with attending messengers ready to carry out His purposes in our lives)
