Send me

A song we sing as kingdom people from time to time is titled, “Holy, Holy, Holy.” This song can remind us of Isaiah’s vision of the Lord, “In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.  Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.  And one called to another and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.  And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a 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 burning coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away, and your sin atoned for.” And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am! Send me.” The last sentence should be a powerful motivator to spring us into action. When we accept Jesus, many of us realize the precious gift we have been given and recognize that there are others who also need this gift that brings them closer to God. At some point, we need to accept that we are the instruments used by the Holy Spirit’s to accomplish His plans. We need to make the statement, “Here I am! Send me.” Our activities may not look like those of others, but if we focus on guidance by the Holy Spirit, we will achieve the results He desires.
