SCRIPTURE
"Then I heard the Lord asking, "Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?" I said, "Here I am. Send me." (Isaiah 6:8)
OBSERVATION
his is one of my life verses. God's love is so amazing, almost incomprehensible to me, as He is all-knowing and all-powerful, yet He asks us, He ASKS us, if we are willing to partner with Him. He could so easily just make it happen without our involvement, clean and simple, with none of the drama that surrounds us humans. Instead, He chooses to give us free will, allowing us to have a choice.
Why does He do that? I guess our love for Him means so much more when we choose to give it, rather than Him demand it. And I also love Isaiah's answer to God's question. "Here I am. Send me." I don't count the sacrifice or the consequence. I might not know exactly how I'll do it or what my future holds, but I know who holds my future. He's like the soldier who steps forward to volunteer for the impossible mission. God is looking for those willing to serve Him and take His message to the world. What will our answer be?
APPLICATION
I must continually offer my heart to God, this is a daily sacrifice. This is a constant reminder of who I serve, not man, not money, not the world, but Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father. Am I willing to step out in faith and accept the mission that God has planned for me? Sometimes, He wants our sacrifice, but sometimes all He wants is a willing heart. I want to be able to say, with no hesitation, "Here I am. Send me."
PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father,
I give You my heart and my soul. I know that Your plans for me are greater than my own. I want to have an unshakable faith and hear Your voice, so that I may follow Your direction for my life. Thank You for all the wonderful blessings You give to me and my family.
In Jesus name,
Amen
