“Will You Go?” by Kirk Hunt
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Isaiah 6:8 KJV
The call came at 6 am, Friday. By 6 pm, that same day, I was making one-way flight reservations. With 400 others, I flew to help with recovery from Hurricane Sandy.
Our jobs are mundane and unglamorous. We walk for miles and knock on doors. We repeat the same information, over-and-over. We ask the same questions, time-and-again.
The purpose remains noble. We concerned ourselves with the health and well-being of people we may never see again. The long hours and cramped troop ship bunks are humbling.
Still, their faces will remain with me. The husband concerned about his invalid wife. The father, frantic about the sea wall, destroyed by the storm waters. The mother, worried about food for her kids, and work for her husband.
God’s call is not always about the thousands and millions. Sometimes, it is about the twos and threes. And about being the one who is willing to go and serve.
Do not concern yourself with your qualifications, or your provision. Be alert for His voice. His hand will supply what is needed.
Your calling may be unremarkable and unseen, but it remains important. Be willing to be sent. “Send me.”
Think: When God calls for servants, will I be obedient to the call?
Pray: “Lord, help me to be an obedient servant who answers Your call.”
