God Speaks

“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 6:8

I don’t believe that God is silently standing by—He is speaking.  But who is listening?  Being God’s spokesperson doesn’t require a seminary degree—but it does require a heart that is humble.  Isaiah saw the holiness of God and, in that instant, saw himself as he really was—a man of unclean lips.  What God saw was a broken and contrite heart.  I hope you will pray with me that God raises up a godly person like Jeremiah or Isaiah, who fears God and loves the Church in America enough to say the hard things.  But, maybe it’s you that He wants to use to stand up for Him.  You may not be a pastor or leader that addresses large crowds, but you can live a holy life, confront sin, and pray for our churches, our communities, and our country.
