DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 10:11 to 11:3; Proverbs 8; Jude
Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool… Isaiah 66:1
What a grand and majestic picture this imagery offers. Isaiah began by bringing us into the throne room of heaven (Isa. 6:1). Now he closes on the same note and gives us the full circumference of God’s presence and authority. God’s throne is lofty in heaven. God’s gaze is lowly on earth. God’s Word is fearful among men.
—Sam Thorpe, Jr.
Seek ye the Lord while yet His ear,
Is open to your call;
While offered mercy still is near,
Before His footstool fall.
—W. Cameron
