Then said I, Here am I; send me. Isaiah 6:8
Isaiah had just had a glimpse of the glory of the Lord seated upon His throne, high and lifted up, and this had provoked him to confess his complete sinfulness and unworthiness. But after the live coal from the altar had touched him, he was ready to take up the challenge of service for God. There is certainly a great need for servants today. Not those whose self confidence has been developed in the schools of men, but those whose spirits have been bathed in the glory of the Lord, and whose confidence does not lie in self, but in the Lord. Only then can we respond, “Here am I, send me”. —W. H. Burnett
My glorious victor, Prince divine, clasp these surrendered hands in Thine;
At length my will is all Thine own, glad vassal of a Saviour’s throne.—Handley C. G. Moule
