Isaiah 6:3 And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”
Prophet Isaiah had a splendid vision of the Lord exalted and majestically enthroned in glory and His goodness, graciousness and greatness filling the heavens and the earth with awe.” As it is said in (Romans 2:4), “The goodness of the Lord leads to repentance”, Isaiah was convicted of his many sins when he was zapped under the glory cloud. When he cried “I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips” (vs 5b), a seraphim, who surround the throne of God, brought a live coal from the altar touched his lips, wiped away his guilt and atoned his sins. The glory of God’s goodness leads us to conviction!
In God’s original plan, Adam and Eve were created in His image and were clothed with the glory or ‘the very nature of God’. They wore the royal robes of righteousness, the crown of pure thoughts and the golden shoes of peace in the Garden of Eden until satan sowed a rebellious thought which was conceived as greed and gave birth to sin. Until then, they lived inside-out but after disobeying God, they started living outside-in hence had to cover themselves with fig leaves. The glory or the very nature of purity, integrity and modesty were their “glory garments”. When they sinned, the regal robes were ripped and exposed the shame. The ruthlessness of the devil brings condemnation, guilt and shame!
Once we come under the glory cloud of God’s goodness and graciousness, God’s nature, His righteousness, love, faith and purity will become our glory garments.
Put on the “Glory Garments”:
1. Invisible: The invisible glory garments of honesty, holiness and humility will become your identity and our invisible garment will glitter brightly in the dark secular world.
2. Intrinsic: The glory garment of purity in thoughts, truthfulness in words and authenticity in actions will become our second nature.
3. Influence: The glory garments are contagious. Our glory garments and godly nature will influence the people around us. The glory garment will preach the goodness of God without words.
The “glory garments” will attract the world to God’s goodness.
Prayer: Glorious Saviour, I will put on the glory garments and impart your goodness to the lost world. Amen.
