You Are Touched by Kirk Hunt Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged.” Isaiah 6:6-7 NKJV Finite, imperfect, impure Isaiah stood in the direct presence of infinite, perfect, holy God. God's prophet cried out in dismay and alarm. God calmly caused his man to be made pure. Isaiah understood the gap between where he lived his life and the perfection of God. God did not excuse or accept the lesser state of the man He loved. Instead, God purified him on the spot. God loves you. And He is not afraid to meet you where you are. The question is, are you willing to be touched by God? Scripture points out the coal came live from the altar. Isaiah was pronounced purged, made clean, after he was touched. The Bible is silent about any burns or scorching of the prophet. Isaiah admitted his imperfect state, then held still while the angel and the live coal approached him. Whether or not he might be burned, he was willing to be touched by God. Holy God saw Isaiah's impure state, but loved him too much to let that stand. Isaiah loved God, and His touch, too much to run. As the hot ember approached, I'm sure images ran through Isaiah's mind. The scene that mattered most, rooted him in place. God's loving touch is worth it, regardless of the price. Think: You can be touched and made pure by God. Pray: “Lord, whatever it costs, please touch me with, and in, Your love.” Copyright © December 2025, Kirk Hunt This devotional is a ministry of CadreMen Press.

My Eyes See by Kirk Hunt And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke. So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Isaiah 6:4-5 NKJV The Temple structure shook with the sound of a single voice. 81,000 cubic feet of space filled with smoke, in a moment. With his own human eyes, Isaiah saw the Shekhinah, the physical manifestation of God in the human world. In the presence of Holy God, Isaiah realizes that he, and all of Israel, are tainted. Suddenly, Isaiah understands. He is a finite, imperfect, impure man in the direct presence of infinite, perfect, holy God. That moment in the Shekhinah should be like standing on the surface of The Sun. God's mercy, and love for Isaiah, preserves him. God is infinite, perfect, holy and omnipotent. He is also loving, merciful and eager for contact with all of His sons and daughters. His omnipotence allows him to remain holy and pure, even when He kisses and hugs His impure and tainted children. God wants us to see Him, with our own eyes. He wants us to know Him, personally and deeply. Look past the distractions and obstructions of circumstances. Walk past the opinions and comments of other people. Infinite, perfect, holy and omnipotent God wants to spend time, just with you. Think: When last did you truly see and spend time with God? Pray: “Lord, help me in my direct and personal relationship with You.” Copyright © November 2025, Kirk Hunt This devotional is a ministry of CadreMen Press.

He Saw The Lord by Kirk Hunt In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1 NKJV As Isaiah turned a corner, he saw the Temple. The gold overlaid on the doors and walls reflected the bright, midday sun like a mirror. As he drew closer, the intricate and detailed carvings of angels, palm trees and open flowers on the walls and doors became visible. He sighed and trudged on. Isaiah walked past the Bronze Altar and the atoning sacrifices being offered. He could see and hear as the devout brought their gifts and sacrifices to the priests. The sights, sounds and smells of the Court all pointed to man's efforts to reconcile with God. He shrugged his shoulders and shuffled further. The prophet passed between the massive bronze pillars, Jachin (“He will establish”) and Boaz (“In Him strength”) and entered the Holy Sanctuary. The beauty and symbolism of the Temple furniture and architecture were familiar to Isaiah. The prophet had seen it all, many times before. He yawned and took his usual place before the Gold Altar. There, in a familiar place and during a memorized routine, something unique happened. The beauty and magnificence of the Temple building faded before His glory. The sanctity and reverent atmosphere of the Temple gave way to His presence. Suddenly, and without warning, Isaiah came face-to-Shekhinah with God. Isaiah, familiar with Scripture and the worship of God, staggered in awe and astonishment. We do not know how sincere and devout Isaiah was, or was not. Like you, he needed a direct and real relationship with Jehovah. When he truly saw God for himself, his life changed. Think: Do you truly see God? Pray: “Lord, help me to have a direct and true relationship with You.” Copyright © November 2025, Kirk Hunt This devotional is a ministry of CadreMen Press.

Endure by Kirk Hunt And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be saved. Matthew 24:12-13 NKJV Endurance is the hallmark of a champion. Endurance allows you to continue on when others give up in discouragement, or fall in exhaustion. To win, you must first endure. Athletes deliberately develop endurance in order to better excel at their sport. The strategies of coaches, teams and individual competitors always include outlasting opponents. Military leaders may call it “toughness” but that does not change the fundamental character of endurance: Staying on task after others give up or fall down. Endurance is far more than physical stamina. A large portion of enduring is simply deciding that you will not quit. Often, athletes complain about “betrayal” by their own bodies. The mind is willing to continue, but physics or biology cannot always be denied by sheer willpower. Men and women of God have more than willpower to call upon. God grants to those who ask, in His purpose, for endurance. His power can suspend the laws of nature. His grace can give the gift of persistence. His mercy can push back the limiting results of poor decisions or human frailty. You can be a Gospel champion. First, decide you want to endure. Second, ask God for what you need to endure. Everything after that is logging time or miles. Think: Endurance is not optional in the life of a Christian. Pray: “Lord, help me to endure through your power, grace and mercy.” Copyright © November 2025, Kirk Hunt This devotional is a ministry of CadreMen Press.
