The prophet Isaiah had a very powerful day (Isaiah 6). He saw the glory of the Lord in the temple. He heard the song of the seraphim. He experienced an utter breakdown as he realised his own sin before experiencing his guilt being taken away.
Finally, he was commissioned. He was given a task to complete, a message to deliver to God’s people. Though it was a terrible message, it was one which would ultimately speak of God’s grace and his desire to restore his people.
As the people of God today, we have also been given a calling and commission. We are to shine like lights in the world (Philippians 2:15). We are to make disciples (Matthew 28:19-20). We are to be transformed, with renewed minds (Romans 12:2). We are to love one another (John 13:34).
Let us seek, by God’s grace and power, to fulfil our commission. Let us go to him in prayer knowing that it is only by his work in and through us that we are able to do as he has commanded. Apart from Jesus we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Grace and peace to you,
Pastor Dan
