“Here Am I; Send Me!”
In the year that King Uzziah died, I
saw the LORD sitting on a throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe
filled the temple. Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings:
with two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their feet, and
with two they flew. And one called to another and said: “Holy, holy, holy is
the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory.” The pivots on the
thresholds shook at the voices of those who called, and the house filled with
smoke. And I said” “Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips; yet
my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!”
Then one of the seraphs flew to me holding a live coal that had
been taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth
with it, and said, “Now that this has touched your lips, your guilt has
departed and your sin is blotted out.” Then I heard the voice of the Lord
saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I;
send me!”
Isaiah 6:1-8
Dreams of fame and fortune are not at the heart of the search
that is truly timeless. That search is God’s own pursuit of hearts that are
available for His work in the world. God is not seeking the most qualified or
talented; rather He is seeking hearts that are surrendered to Him. He is
seeking those who are available, dependable, and willing to be used. God will
show Himself strong, and He will be glorified. Are you
available?
Your life is God’s gift to you – make it
your gift to God.
