"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." Isaiah 6:5
I am struck by the order that Isaiah makes this cry out to God. He first proclaims, "I am an man of unclean lips." He then states, "I live among a people of unclean lips." It is too easy for me to be concerned first of all with all the people around me with unclean lips and heart and then at the end of my conversation with God mention something about my own unclean lips and heart. Oh Lord, "Search me and try me...see if there be any wicked way in me. (Psalm 139:23,24)
