Chasing God's Glory
Chasing after God's glory this week.
From a You Version study on glory:
The first step to full fellowship with God, having clear ears to hear His voice, is seeing His Glory. Overcome by His Holiness so I can truly agree with him about my sin and have it purged from my life and habits.
Isaiah chapter 6:
Working through these steps - Search out and glimpse God's glory (verses 1-4), fully recognize my sin (verse 5), confess and receive God's promised forgiveness (verse 6, 7, but more in I John 1), hear God's direction (verse 8), and respond with action (verse 9).
From a You Version study on glory:
The glory of God is the weight of the majestic goodness of who God is and the resulting name, or reputation, that he gains from revealing himself as Creator, Sustainer, Judge, and Redeemer, perfect in justice and mercy, loving kindness and truth.

Isaiah chapter 6:
Isaiah’s Vision
6 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. 2 Seraphim stood above Him, each having six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one called out to another and said,
4 And the [b]foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, while the [c]temple was filling with smoke. 5 Then I said,
“Woe is me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs. 7 He touched my mouth with it and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away and your sin is [d]forgiven.”
Isaiah’s Commission
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
