Follow Up

Ok, I thought this would be a pretty fitting follow up to my posts on the Majesty of God (or "How Big God is and How Small We Are").  I don't know how many people have seen Prince of Egypt, it's a great movie and I'd recomend it to everyone.  For those not in the know, its about Moses and brining the Israelites out of Egypt.  The scene of Moses talking to the burning bush is really well done and powerful, and I just wanted to share it since it nicely caps out this idea that we are so insignificant compared to the God we serve.  So, hopefully this works and you can watch it right here.  Pay attention right around 3:20:

The Majesty of God (Part 2)

Well, I’m back, and I’m here to finish out my post on God’s glory. It’s been awhile, but unfortunately school work and some technical difficulties have kept me from posting (my computer decided to play a fun little game of “Count the Number of Times I Show you the Blue Screen of Death…I lost track around 15). I am back now, so, let’s get down to work. Last time, we looked out into the universe to get a sense for its immensity and grandeur, and accordingly how small we are compared to the God who holds it all in the palm of His hand. For this post, I want to look at one specific passage in the Bible, delve into the meat of it, and see if all of you reading this have the same mind-blowing experience I did. The passage is Isaiah 6:1-5. I’d say it’s fairly well know, if you tack on a few more verses a lot of pastors/preachers/priests, etc, use it as an example of how we should be willing to be ready to do God’s will at all times. And we should! However, that’s not what we’re talking about today. No, today we’re going to do something that for some reason as Christians we really don’t seem to do it all that often. We’re going to look at the angels.
