Today’s Devotional
In this verse, we find the prophet Isaiah describing a powerful vision of God’s majesty and holiness. It takes place during a time of transition and uncertainty for the nation of Judah, as King Uzziah’s death marked the end of a relatively stable period in their history.

As believers today, we can take comfort in the knowledge that God is always present, sovereign, and unchanging. When we face uncertainty or challenges, we can look to the Lord and trust in His eternal nature and unwavering love.
