Seeing all this, Isaiah immediately was aware of his own unworthiness (6:5) and the need for atonement (6:6–7). In the presence of God’s holiness Isaiah was not struck by his humanity or mortality, but by (a) his own impurity; (b) the uncleanness of the nation of Judah; and (c) the sight of the King, the Lord Almighty. Isaiah could not join the seraphs in praising God until his lips were purified. He cried out, “woe is me” (ʾōy lî) because he was in the presence of a holy God.

The man whom God will use must be undone. He must be a man who has seen the King in His beauty.

I think the calling of a minister, a pastor, the greatest calling in the world. There is nothing I know of that is comparable to watching the Holy Spirit dealing with people, searching them, examining them, revealing truth to them, while you watch their growth and their development.
