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
I add this verse to yesterday’s devotional to call attention to the next five word’s of verse 9, “Go and tell this people:” THIS people, not ‘those’ people, or ‘some’ people, or ‘other’ people, THIS people.
‘This’ is a very specific word. Isaiah was sent to a very particular people; those right in front of him. He could touch them, hear them, smell them and they were known to be hard hearted. In other words, deaf and blind to God’s love. But still, God said, “THIS PEOPLE!” Isaiah asked, “For how long LORD?” God’s response, “Until there is nothing left.”
God is not a giving up kind of God. He won’t throw in the towel on you and He won’t call it a game on those you are praying for. “Whom shall He send?” Me and you, until there is nothing left……until the end of this age. Don’t give up, because God sure isn’t!
Love,
