“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne” Isaiah 6:1

Apparently, for some of my friends, King Uzziah died Tuesday night. For varying reasons, they had pinned high hopes on a Clinton victory and were thrown into the depths of despair when Donald Trump won.

For other friends, King Uzziah will ascend to the throne in January. They feel that they have a king (president) who will lead the country to economic and military greatness, while following the leading of religious leaders. (Read about Uzziah in 2 Chronicles 26)

Either way, let me encourage to follow Isaiah’s example: make this a time to see the Lord. Don’t focus on political triumphs or defeats. Don’t lament over lost human leadership nor rejoice in one who seeks to make a kingdom of this world great. Focus on the Lord, high and holy on his throne. He’s got something for you to do.

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!’” (Isaiah 6:8)
