Isaiah 6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple.
We all look at things differently don’t we? Some people see Jesus one way and others see Him another way. Yesterday we saw the Lord as He went to the Cross shedding His blood for us and as I was thinking about all that, this verse came to my mind. Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up. He was given a vision of the Risen Lord, all powerful, seated on a throne.
God also wants us to see Jesus now high and lifted up as well, our great Champion, our great Hero reigning victorious over all the works of the devil. 🙂 He is now The Victor, the One who upholds all things by the word of His power. God has exalted Him to the place of highest honour and given Him the name above all names so that all of creation, seen or unseen, all powers and principalities, have to bow their knee to His mighty Name.
Jesus defeated and disarmed Satan at the Cross, and his only weapon now is to try to deceive us into doubting God’s word and His promises. But if we’ll keep our eyes on Jesus, seeing Him at the Cross but also seeing Him now seated on the throne at the right hand of the Father, our confidence and faith in Him will grow and grow.
We will find ourselves dwelling in the secret place of the Most High. We’ll be able to declare “He is my God, my refuge and my fortress, in Him I will trust.”(Psalm 91)
As we enter the new working week we’ll know that we’re protected each day, provided for by His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We’ll be able to receive His love, His healing, His peace and joy even when life comes against us.
We will find ourselves overcoming, not because of who we are, but because of Jesus our Champion and who we are in Him and because He is now the ultimate Victor, the High and Lifted Up One, the King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords to the glory of God. Amen.
Have a blessed week.😊
