Here Am I, Send Me
Isaiah 6
1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.
3 And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.” 8 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!”
When General Tex Brown finished his time with us this weekend with this challenge, it inspired me to evaluate what I am doing to further the Kingdom of God, not only in my homeland of the USA, but around the globe. I am a man of unclean lips and need the love and forgiveness of my Savior. How or why would God use me? I have a desire to please God, but many times I fail him. THEN, the grace of God and the forgiveness of God enters in and changes my life and allows me to get up and follow Him. God, even in my sinful self, desires to use me for His Kingdom. I must totally rely of Jesus for everything, even when I stumble and fall, He is there to sustain me.
What about you today? Are you willing to come to God just as you are and say these words, "Here I am, Send me"?
