We were created with a capacity for awe, and that awe was ultimately meant to find its end in God—in His glory, holiness, power, wisdom, grace, and goodness.

But when our view of God becomes small, something else always becomes big. We begin living for things that were never meant to carry the weight of our worship.

Over time, what once amazed us can start to feel ordinary. That is why revival matters. Revival awakens us again to the glory of God and the wonder of His grace.

In Isaiah 6:1–8, God becomes big, Isaiah becomes small, sin becomes serious, grace becomes amazing, and obedience becomes a joy. That is the movement we see in Isaiah’s encounter with God, and it gives us a clear picture of what revival looks like: We see His holiness. We feel our sinfulness. We receive His grace.

And we answer His call.

Revival begins when we see God as He truly is—and everything else begins to fall into its proper place.
