Answering God's Call

I hope you start every day with God. I chose to read daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today's devotion is titled "You should start every day with God. I chose to read daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today's devotion is titled "Send Me." Francis Neil G. Jalando-on wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Isaiah 6:1–8. The key verse is, "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send?". . . I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8. My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ; before I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries to inspire comments and witnessing.

Background:

Isaiah (whose name means "Yahweh saves," prophesied to the Southern Kingdom of Judah through the reigns of Uzziah and Jotham (both godly kings), Ahaz (one of Judah's worst kings), and Hezekiah (a king committed to reforms). He was a contemporary of the prophets Hosea, Amos, and Micah. Assyria threatened to invade Israel and Judah. According to tradition, Isaiah was related to Uzziah, explaining his easy access to the royal courts (7:3; 38:1; 39:3). He suffered martyrdom when he was sawn in two by King Manasseh. Besides this book of prophecies, Isaiah also wrote King Uzziah's biographies and King Hezekiah's biographies (see 2 Chronicles 26:22; 32:32).

My comments to you:

I answered God's calling to write about Him on my blogs and social media accounts. I hesitated if He called me to work abroad as a missionary. My biggest fear is being away from family and financial support.

Is God calling you to do something for Him? Why are you holding back? Remember all God has done through Jesus' death and resurrection. He's given us the Holy Spirit to help and guide us (John 14:26; 15:26–27), and He'll prepare us to answer His call. So, like Isaiah, we respond, "Send me!"

Reflect:

Is God calling you to do something for Him? What is hindering you from responding?

My prayer for us:

Jesus, thank You for calling and enabling us to serve You. Help us see this as a privilege and serve You willingly and learn about The Trinity.
