Before we go, I just wanna take a moment just to talk to you personally and just tell you that the most important thing you can do is to trust Jesus with your life. And I know that a lot of us have a lot going on. Sometimes we don't know where to turn. Sometimes we may feel overwhelmed. If you're feeling that way, it's because Jesus wants to get in the middle of those things with you. If you've never trusted Jesus with your life, it's very simple. All you have to do is tell him that you want him to take over, that you're trusting him with your story and your future. [01:02:47] (31 seconds)  #RecognizeYourNeed Download clip

These angels aren't necessarily like the cartoon angels you saw in Bugs Bunny or what other kind of, you know, the far side or whatever kind of vision of angels. These angels have six wings. So they have two that they fly with, two cover their feet, signifying that they're recognizing the holiness of God, that their their feet are needed to be covered before the Lord of hosts. Two, they cover their faces because the glory of God is so powerful and all consuming. [00:33:55] (24 seconds)  #GoToJesusNotGoogle Download clip

And I think that's pretty straightforward. Right? But how do we do it? So here's a couple things. One, I think we need to make a decision before you make a decision. If we wanna live like this, we need to make decisions before we're in the moment. We have to choose today to be the kind of people that say, God, we have open hands and open hearts. It's kinda like having a diet. I don't know if anybody's tried a diet recently. I think most of us probably made some kind of resolution on what we're gonna eat in January, and then we've promptly forgot. [00:41:29] (27 seconds)  #GodRevealsInChaos Download clip

And they spend their entire time circling the throne declaring the holiness of God. Here, we actually get a picture of the Trinity because it's not just God being declared to be holy one time, but three times. Holy, holy, holy, one for each person of the godhead, father, son, and holy spirit. So you can't really say the bible doesn't teach the trinity because you see, Marx said this all over the scriptures. And so Isaiah looks at God, and many of us, if we're in that spot, what would we do? [00:34:20] (31 seconds)  #SurrenderYourResources Download clip

Right? Because that's what we do anytime we see something incredible. Go to a concert, go to a game. We're like, we gotta record this, gotta post this on socials, on Facebook or Instagram. We gotta show everybody, like, what we are experiencing in the moment, bring people with us, but that's not what Isaiah does. What does he do? He falls on his face and says this, look at you in verse five, says, woe is me for I am ruined. He's like, woe is me. I'm ruined. I'm coming undone because I am a man of unclean lips [00:34:57] (29 seconds)  #UnworthyBeforeGod Download clip
