Katrina Update 10: "They flew."

In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. Hovering around him were mighty seraphim, each with six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with the remaining two they flew. In a great chorus they sang, "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty! The whole earth is filled with his glory!" The glorious singing shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire sanctuary was filled with smoke.(Isaiah 6: 1-4)


2Hovering around him were mighty seraphim, each with six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with the remaining two they flew.

This passage really struck me. Their eyes were covered. They couldn’t see where they were going. Their feet were covered. They couldn’t walk on their own. And yet they flew. What that says to me is that they were guided by nothing but the spirit of God. This passage says “in a great chorus they sang, ‘Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty!’” Where? How did they not run into things? Their focus was only on the Lord. I don’t get any indication that this was strange or frightening for them…it just says “they flew”.

I feel very much like I have my eyes covered and my feet covered…like I can’t see where I am going or even attempt to go my own way. But I don’t necessarily feel like I am flying carefree thinking only of the glory of the Lord. I want to…but I am certain that I am not always.

Lord, help me to just fly and trust you with everything. Help me to not have to see to not have to go my own way. Help me to sing because I know you know where I am going and that I will get there safely.
