We hear this statement uttered by many great men of the Bible when they answered God’s call. We have Abraham replying to God in Genesis 22:1, the prophet Isaiah responding in Him in Isaiah 6:8, Moses reacting to God’s Voice coming from the burning bush in Exodus 3:4, and a young Samuel finally answering the Voice of God in I Samuel 3:4,6,8. The Hebrew word here is “Hineni”, which is so more than just a courteous reply from someone who’s ready to help. This phrase comes after counting the costs, similar to when God tested Abraham in Genesis 22:1. For often God’s testing is through adversity or hardship in order for us to demonstrate the quality of our faithfulness, loyalty, and obedience. So when we say, “Here I am!” it’s a courageous response to God without doubt or hesitation. That’s because, we’ve already determined that we’re available, ready, and willing to obey and serve.
