SEND ME! – Isaiah 6:8 Devotional
Isaiah 6:8
“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.’”
At times I reminisce about my parents. My dad was especially adept at doing just about anything that needed to be done—all the way from carpentry to electronics.
My mom on the other hand was more the director of operations—dad’s operations that is. When one of the family members needed something done, mom would say, “Oh, dad would be glad to do it!” Dad would just smile and moan.
Christians all too often are like my mom. When God has a task to be accomplished they start thinking about others who could do the job. While the words may not be spoken, the message is this: “Here am I—send him (or her)!”
We read in Matthew 9:37-38 that we are to pray for the Lord to send out workers for the harvest. The fact of the matter is that we need to ask the Lord what part we can play in bringing in the harvest.
Some workers till the soil, some plant, some water, and some tend the plants as they grow, and there are still those who reap. What part of the harvest of souls are you personally participating in? Ask the Lord to send you!
May God richly bless you by your words and actions!
