In the year King Uzziah died, Isaiah saw the Lord.
Isaiah was unable to see the Lord before because someone else had his attention While King Uzziah was alive Isaiah was unable to see God all he saw was Uzziah, the earthly King he couldn't see the King of Kings.He allowed everything around him to hinder his vision of God, when the hindrances were removed Isaiah could see himself in comparison to a great and holy God. A man that was sinful a man with unclean lips, he never recognized that aspect of himself before.
It is only as we have an encounter with the Lord can we truly see ourselves, that we are as filthy rags. As Isaiah was able to recognize his sinfulness he became aware that he was without power and felt inadequate to do anything without God. So he submitted himself to God and allowed God to take control. As Isaiah was cleansed, God was able to commission him to go forth to be his messenger. Allowing God to purify us may be painful but we must be purified in order that we can truly represent God, who is pure and holy
So the question today is, which king is reigning on your throne? What is holding you back from seeing God as He is? Is it your friends, money, family, job or fear ? This king in your life needs to die, lay it on the altar of sacrifice. Our daily struggles and pressures of this life narrow our view of God, but we need to see God the way Isaiah saw him high and lifted up
Whatever has your attention and is causing you not to see God in his power and holiness, you need to remove it from the throne today.
Today is your day for change, you can't serve both God and mammon, someone will be neglected. If the truth be known Jesus is the one most times that gets the back seat.
Which ever king is there he is taking up God's place, remove it and put Jesus back on the throne and see your life begin to change. If your are going to be about the Father's business, to tell what He has spoken unto you, Its time to put things in order. When Jesus is on the throne of your heart your life will be controlled by Him.

This is written so well. It really gets to the point of letting God be our #1.
Very good post Chozeh it reminded me of a dream that i had in 1999 and i wrote about it on an older post titled: God's faithful ones. It is really awesome when you read other posts and see how the Holy Spirit is bringing forth the Word in similarity through out the world among,in and through God's people. Amen and God Bless you!
Awesome post! When we put Him first and build a throne for Him it makes room and attracts His blessing and favor to us because we are in line with the Father!
