The Nature of Man

In the presence of God, Isaiah was not proud, demanding his way, or assertive of his will. In the presence of God, Isaiah pleaded for the mercy of God. This is how you must understand Genesis chapter 1 and the nature of man. Man’s nature and purpose are not according to the autonomous will of man but determined, ordained, and commanded by the sovereignty of God.

Like Isaiah before the throne, recognize who you are before holy God. You are an image bearer of God, a steward of creation, and made to fulfill the will and purposes of God.
