Then 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 (NIV)

Hymns are so often inspirational and meaningful.  One of my favorite (recent- 1981) hymns is “Here I Am, Lord” by Daniel Schutte.  The refrain says: “Here I am, Lord.  Is it I Lord?  I have heard You calling in the night. I will go Lord, if You lead me.  I will hold Your people in my heart. I have thought a lot about callings.  The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) is charged with calling a pastor and there is a pastor out their waiting to hear our call.  I have to keep in mind that there is the part about You (God) leading me when called.  I am afraid that I don’t always listen or follow when called, but surely it is a worthy goal to have.

Prayer

Lord, guide me to hear when you call and to go where you might lead me.  Amen
