Whom Will Go?

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.

Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. 
                                                                                                     (Isa 6:1-8 KJV)


"Whom shall I send." In his vision, the Lord spoke to Isaiah, "Whom Shall I send?" Who indeed? Isaiah responded that he would be sent. What about us? What about you? Will you go and share the good news of the Kingdom through Jesus? Will you tell your neighbor, even your enemy, that there is one who loves them so much he was willing to die that they might live in the presence of God for all of eternity? Will you tell them that their sins have been purged by his own blood?

Do you love Jesus as he loves you? And, if you do will you feed his sheep even as Jesus told Peter if he loved him he should feed his sheep? (John 21:15-17)

There are many ways to feed his sheep. We can spiritually feed others by sharing the good news of our salvation through Jesus with others. We can physically feed those who are hungry. We can aid anyone in physical, spiritual, or emotional need. The question is though: can the Lord send you to feed His sheep? 

Whom shall the Lord send? Will you go? Will you answer "send me?"

God's Peace - Pr. J.
