If you’ve ever applied for a job, certain things are expected. You may fill out an application or prepare a resume. You words will be designed to demonstrate that you are qualified for the position. Then you may be called for an interview, where, again, your words will be carefully constructed to confirm that you are qualified.
Isaiah 6:8 says, “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.'” God’s qualification process is entirely different. He calls everyone of us, without respect to our qualifications, because we would never be able to qualify. When God calls you, how will you respond? Every day, He calls us to Himself, and wants us to do something or say something. A popular worship song says, “It’s not time to be silent. Don’t you dare hide your light!” Today, is the day for us to respond to God’s call and say, “Here I am! Send me.”
