The Great Miracle
December 16, 2010
Leonard Ravenhill (19071994), a British evangelist, once said, The greatest miracle God can do today is take an unholy man out of an unholy world, make that man holy, then put him back into that unholy world and keep him holy in it. This seems to be what God did to Isaiah when He called him to speak to His people.
Around the time of the death of Uzziah, one of Judahs more successful kings, Isaiah had a vision of God. The prophet saw Him as the true King of the universe, sitting on a lofty throne. In the vision, Isaiah saw seraphim worshiping God with a hymn that praised His holiness, majesty, and glory.
Isaiahs vision of God led to a true vision of himself as unholy and broken before God. Woe is me, for I am undone! Isaiah said (6:5). This recognition of sin led him to a need for and the reception of Gods cleansing grace (v.7). Newly cleansed, Isaiah was commissioned to spread Gods message (v.9). The Lord sent Isaiah into an unholy world, not only to live a holy life but also to tell an unholy people about a holy God.
The Lord wants to show Himself to us, thus giving us a truer vision of ourselves, a deeper need for His grace, and a greater commitment to live and speak for Him. What a miracle!
Upon my life shed forth Thy grace,
Till others seek Thy loving face;
Oh, may no thing be seen in me
To cause a soul to stray from Thee! Roberts
Amid the darkness of sin, the light of Gods grace shines brightest.
Read: Isaiah 6:1-8
He touched my mouth with it, and said: Behold, this has touched your lips; your iniquity is taken away, and your sin purged.
Isaiah 6:7

Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum,
Wie grün sind deine Blätter!
Du grünst nicht nur zur Sommerzeit,
Nein auch im Winter, wenn es schneit.
Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum,
Wie grün sind deine Blätter!
Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Wie oft hat schon zur Winterzeit
Ein Baum von dir mich hoch erfreut!
Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum,
Du kannst mir sehr gefallen!
Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum,
Dein Kleid will mich was lehren:
Die Hoffnung und Beständigkeit
Gibt Mut und Kraft zu jeder Zeit!
Oh Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum,
Dein Kleid will mich was lehren!

Thank you, yorkie. You travel safely in the rain.
It is foggy here. We need to go to Fresno tonight to have dinner with Amy and our Fresno FReeper group. I am hoping we don't have to travel up or back in thick fog. It scares me to death! That 45 minute drive can turn into an hour and a half of terror if we have to creep along the freeway home, all the while praying we don't get run over by a semi. Our vehicle is white; completely invisible in the fog. :-(

Hi, jaycee! Holiday hugs to you, dear friend!

Happy Thursday, FRiends.
I'm back for a few minutes.
My hairdresser found time to trim my hair.
She couldn't do anything more.
I appreciated her getting me in to trim these bothersome bangs.
We will go to school at 1:00 for the Christmas Program.
This evening, we will meet other Freepers for dinner.
It will be sooo good to see these FResno FRiends again.
Wishing everyone a Joyous Christmas Season.
