Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer

July 3: Isaiah 6-7; 2Chronicles 26-27; Philemon

Scripture: Isaiah (NIV) 6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

Observation: Perhaps the eyes of the prophet had been on the king, but now that the king was dead, Isaiah saw the Lord! The Lord had been sitting on that throne long before the prophet saw Him but it seems the eyes of the prophet had been on King Uzziah. King Uzziah had ruled Judah for over 50 years. He was an able ruler and it had been a prosperous time. Now the king was dead, but the King of kings was still on the throne!

Application: I must be careful not to let my eyes become so fixed on earthly things on the earth that I have a problem seeing King Jesus! People and things around me often get rearranged, but King Jesus is still on the throne!

Prayer: Lord, as we sing, “Open the eyes of my heart, Lord. I want to see you. To see you high and lifted up, shining in the light of your glory.” Amen
