Send Me

One of the greatest responses in the Bible can be found in Isaiah 6:8. When the Lord asked who would go out and deliver the prophesy to the people, Isaiah answered, “Here am I. Send me!” Wow. What if every one of us responded to God in such a way?

Each of us has been given some kind of ability. We have skills that can be used for the glory of God. But how many of us go out and put them into practice? For example, there are people with the natural ability to go up and speak to anyone anywhere. You may run into them in the mall, as they try to sell you perfume or a cell phone. How amazing would it be if, filled with the Holy Spirit, these people boldly went out with the Good News of Jesus Christ?

Or are we using our talents for our own glory? Think about the singers with truly exceptional voices—but who are out there singing for the world. They get accolades and awards and even great monetary reward from the world. But the things of the world will eventually pass away. How awesome would it be if these singers used their gift to proclaim the glory of God? Their reward would be eternal.

You have something in you that God has given for such a time as this. There are people who are in need of what you have to offer. But you aren’t doing anyone any favors by shying away or choosing to do nothing at all. Listen to what the Lord is telling you and when you hear His voice, be ready to answer, “Here am I. Send me!”

With joy in your heart and enthusiastically,
Say to the Lord, “Here am I. Send me!”
