Epiphany 5

Today we hear of Isaiah, who calls himself “a man of unclean lips.” We read as Paul asks the rhetorical question, “What am I to do?” And we identify with Peter, who confesses, “I am a sinful man, O Lord.” In short, we recognize that these people are just like us!  If we focus on our limitations (our skill, our wisdom, our strength, etc.) we are bound to try to put limits on God.  Today we will shift our focus from our understanding and trust that God is able to work through us in mighty ways!
