God Reveals & Calls You
Wickedness has permeated
every fiber of Judah – a condition
which God finds intolerable.
Isaiah’s national call for repentance
is so urgent that even his Call
to the prophetic office must wait.
The task before Isaiah is unenviable,
for God said the people will be
spiritually deaf and nearsighted.
Having encountered God, Isaiah
begins to declare harsh words with
confidence in the courts of Judah.
Lord, we offer our lives to You:
In the year that King Uzziah died,
I saw the Lord sitting on a throne,
high & lifted up… And one seraphim
cried to another… Holy, holy, holy
is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth
is full of His glory… The posts of the
door was shaken… and the house
was filled with smoke (Isa 6:1-4).
So I said: Woe is me… Because I am
a man of unclean lips, and I dwell
in midst of people of unclean lips.
For my eyes have seen the King,
The Lord of Hosts. Then one of
the seraphim flew to me, having in
his hand a live coal from the altar.
And he touched my mouth with it
and said: Your iniquity is taken
away. And your sin purged (v5-7).
Also I heard the voice of the Lord,
saying: Whom shall I send.
And who will go for US. Then
I said: Here am I, send me (Isa 6:8).
Lord, we praise You for Sitting
on the Throne; and reign over all.
You are In Control and everyone
and everything is subject to You.
When my faith is weak and I am
in despair because of challenges,
remind me You are still in charge.
Give me a fresh vision of Your
kingship over the whole world; and
I ask for Your protection. Amen.
Lord, as I sense Your holy presence,
I am aware of my own unworthiness.
That makes me grateful for Your
sacrifice & I come to Your throne to
find mercy & grace in time of need.
Purify me Lord & help me to free
from all that’s unpleasing to You.
And help me have a tender heart
to respond positively to Your plan
so that I’ll do the good works that
You have prepared for me. Amen.
I, the Lord of sea and sky
I have heard My people cry
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night
I will make the darkness bright
Who will bear My light to them
Whom shall I send?
Here I am Lord; Is it I Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night
I will go Lord; If You lead me
I will hold Your people in my heart!
