Power to Shake Foundations

Can you imagine being amazed with God, seeing Him as holy for the first time? It is the same as seeing color for the first time. You can see videos of people who are colorblind putting on glasses that change their perception of the world. They choke up with tears. A new vision changes everything. And here's what results: praise. Praise results. 

Praise has the power to shake the foundations. We see it in verse 4. It says the foundations of the doorway shook at the sound of seraphim’s voices, at their praise, and the temple filled with smoke. What an amazing thought! Praise has the power to shake foundations.

When we see God holy and lifted up, when we see Him for who He is, we begin to praise. We begin to say, “Lord, I am amazed at what You have done. You are so mighty. You are the God of history. You have a plan and have all of this in Your hand.”

At the same time, we want to say with Isaiah, “God, You are high and lifted up. You are holy, holy, holy. You have everything in your hands. You have Israel, You have Rome, You are preparing the earth for the coming Messiah. Lord, we just want to give You praise. We want to give You praise, because we are amazed by You.”

Can I see You, Lord, even through tears? Can I praise you even when my foundations are shaken?
