Consecration

Isaiah 6

⁶ Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. ⁷ With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”

⁸ 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!”

I live a life of contradictions, in order to find peace I must go to war. In order to rest, I must fight. When life seems crazy and out of control, it is actually the most right and inline with Gods plans.

I am almost never satisfied living to survive, just praying enough and eating enough of the Word to get me by. I have a ferocious appetite to do the work of the Kingdom and nothing else on earth will satisfy.

Isaiah SEES God and instantly knows he is in way over his head. He is blown away at the sight he sees, angels are worshipping God all around him. Then he realizes he is just a sinful man and he is standing in the presence of a Holy God. He thought for sure he was going to die but God had brought him to the very spot he was standing and at that very moment for a reason.

Isaiah had the heart of a servant and had done all he could to honor God with his life. Just when he thinks his life is over, God gives him a new life and another opportunity to serve Him.

⁸ Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”

Isaiah jumps at the chance to serve and please God.

And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

It is only when we come to the edge of losing everything that we learn the true value of anything. It is then that we understand what God wants from us. It's not cash, its a spirit of generosity, He doesn't need our strength, He needs us to have the heart of a servant.

Will you say, "Here I am Lord, send me!"

Consecrate your life to God,
