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!” (Isaiah 6:8).
Last week I published an essay on Upward Edge (www.upwardedge.com) entitled “Factors to Consider When Deciding to Lead.” After publishing the essay and receiving a comment from one of my loyal followers, I began to meditate. Although my words are in the first person, I strongly believe that my words are genuine to all hopeful and called leaders.
God it is evident that it is time to grow. God help me to see the cues and to use every opportunity to seek you out, to serve you and to demonstrate your love to others.
God help me to be always faithful; even during dark times. Give me the faith of Paul; the courage of David and the resiliency of Job.
God I pray that I can, through your divine spirit, truly motivate with my words, model through my deeds and heal with my touch. I pray that I will live the truth and be a good steward of your trust in me. Amen
Has God called your name? What has God impressed upon your heart to do? If all the factors are in place (see www.upwardedge.com); then you are able to repeat Isaiah’s words: “Here am I. Send me!”
This touched me so—I am teary eyed…thanks Tony. God is calling me to do some things that to my eyes, I am not even qualified to do. However, with his extra, I am extraordinary and with his super, I am supernatural. I am so humbled to come before Him with my humanness—it is that human side of me that He works with to do thing that only He can do or bring to pass.
He is so wonderful…Emmanuel…
Because of your humbleness, you will be able to do great things. I am counting on it. May God continues to speak to your heart and above all to your passion.
