A shack to make me shudder

When Isaiah was called to take a divine message to Israel, he saw ‘the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted’ (Isaiah 6.1). His reaction was one of immense awe and fear, as he appreciated with great force his own sinful state before an almighty and holy God. His response was entirely in harmony with the Lord’s response to Moses, where Moses was told: ‘You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live’ (Exodus 33.20).
