Isaiah 6:1 (New American Standard Bible)
In the year of King Uzziah's death I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, lofty and exalted, with the train of His robe filling the temple.
When Isaiah saw this vision, it was the time when King Uzziah had died; and perhaps a time when uncertainty and hopelessness lingered in the kingdom of Judah. And during this time Isaiah saw this vision. Many commentators of the bible say that this vision was a representation of God's holiness. Though it is very much true, an other view is that this vision was given to Isaiah to show him the sovereignty of the Lord. The Lord was seated on the throne... lofty and exalted...His train of robe filling the temple...All this is a representation of God's sovereign control over the nations and the world (and the lives of His people).
Be it a chaos in the nation or in our families or in our personal lives, all we need to know is that, the Lord is still on the throne. And when we submit our fears, worries, anxieties and uncertainties to Him, He can fill our hearts with perfect peace that He is in control...
Prayer: Lord, you are in control of my life and my circumstances. I trust you and you alone. Help me know in times of chaos, that you are in control and nothing can happen which will not be for redemptive good. In your precious name. Amen.
