Isaiah 6:8

Today I read out of my devotional and I've read this verse plenty of times, but it hits me every time in a slightly different way. When I read it this time, I really got this feeling of a challenge. God wasn't direction the question of "Who will step up?" to any individual particularly, but once Isaiah heard what God said, he knew he needed to step up. I want to be Isaiah, I want to step up to the challenge. I want to be accountable. I want to be used. I want to know that I have the faith to step up knowing that if I make myself available to God, that He will use me. In "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan he talks about having faith. I wrote about this a couple days ago, but he challenges people with the question, "What are you doing right now that requires faith?" Well my answer is still nothing, but by reading "Hear am I, send me!" makes me want to step up. I know God will take care of me, but it's forgetting about my personal issues and facing eternal issues.

God I want to be used by you. I want to step up when I know you want me to step up. Help me be bold. Give me the faith to believe that you can do anything through me, but using only your power and strength. I truly want to be used, even though I may not act like it. Here am I, Lord. Send me!
