Gain Through Loss
Isaiah 6:1-13
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.…


God puts out our little light that we may see Him the better. When you are looking out of the window at night, gazing towards the sky, you will see the stare more clearly if you put out your gaslight. That is what God has to do for us. He has to put out the secondary lights in order that we may see the eternal light. Uzziah has to die, in order that we may see it is God who lives.

(J. H. Jowett, M. A.)
