Isaiah 6:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I. Send me.”
During this time in Israel's history, the people were stable financially, unstable morally, corrupt and spiritually bankrupt!
Does Israel's condition then sound like our world in which we live in today? No doubt about it! Read Isaiah chapters 1-5 to see the condition of God's people during this time in history.
God's people had forsaken the true and living God to follow after gods of other nations, the poor was being oppressed by the rich, people were eating, drinking and being merry, fornication, adultery, living in rebellion and disobedience to God. This pattern of behavior was among all of God's people, including the spiritual leaders who should have been examples.
King Uzziah had reign for 52 years from the age of 16 and He was now dead. Uzziah was the only king Isaiah knew until he entered the temple one day in the year that King Uzziah died.
It was that day in the year King Uzziah died that Isaiah sees in a vision, the true King who was not dead but yet alive. Having been allowed to see God in a vision, Isaiah now put things into perspective.
Isaiah's earthly King has died, but the everlasting King was still yet alive, sitting high and lifted up on His throne. The earthly king had to die for Isaiah to see the everlasting King. Good God Almighty!!!
What is blocking your view from seeing King Jesus?? What is your response to the Lord's call for Volunteers in the Kingdom?
How will I respond? I have responded and my reply is "here I am Lord, send me!"
The vineyard is in desperate need of workers! Where are they?
God bless.
