Isaiah 6:8 ” 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!’ “

Isaiah’s commissioning was deeply personal and intimate. His call was just between God and him, starting with a terrifying realization of his inadequacies, followed by the atoning power of God cleansing his corrupt sinful nature. So, when God asks this rhetorical question…Isaiah, in obedient faith, freely volunteers himself without even waiting to hear the nature of his commission. Be careful of fervent exhortations from the pulpit, emotion-charged prayer meetings, or passionate pleas from a visiting Evangelist that pressure you into a call God hasn’t already given. The Lord’s commission will be given in the quiet of sweet fellowship…while the others merely offer confirmation and validation of your decision.
