I Will Go

I heard this verse in a song by Desperation Band called I Will Go, and it sent chills down my spine. What an amazingly powerfully verse when you read it with excitement. It makes me wonder if maybe I don't get excited about scripture because I just read it as a book, rather than words from God. I want to get excited about the Bible, and have the fire and desire to read it. Honestly, I feel dry and empty spiritually. I think I am going to try this approach and see what happens. 

Isaiah 6:1-8


In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: 
       "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; 
       the whole earth is full of his glory."

 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.

 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."

 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."

 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" 
And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
