Isaiah is widely considered the deepest, richest, and most theologically significant book in the Old Testament. It is, without question, a profound statement by God about his own sovereignty and majesty spoken through his chosen spokesman, the prophet Isaiah.
There are times when I am preaching that I have especially sensed the
pleasure of God. I usually become aware of it through the unnatural silence.
The ever-present coughing ceases, and the pews stop creaking, bringing an
almost physical quiet to the sanctuary — through which my words sail like
arrows. I experience a heightened eloquence, so that the cadence and volume
of my voice intensify the truth I am preaching.
