Send me!

Isaiah 6:8

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!”

I must say that anyone that has never done any sort of mission work, near or far, is missing out!  This morning I prayed that the Lord would show me what to write about as I just didn’t have anything really on my mind to write.  I briefly checked Facebook and saw a post from my niece that said, “I leave for Dominican in one week.”  I knew then that I wanted to use the scripture from Isaiah 6:8 for today’s devotion. 

Mission work does not have to be to another country.  It doesn’t even have to be out of state.  Although I could go on and on about how amazing it is to do mission work in another country. 

Look around you, we are living in a mission field every day!  With the water situation in some of the cities in Michigan, mainly in the news is Flint, there is a great opportunity for people to serve. 

Too often we sink into the comfort of our own lives and when the question comes up, “Whom shall I send?  And who will go for us?”, we hide in hopes that someone else will volunteer so we don’t have to feel guilty about someone not doing it.  Brothers and sisters, I urge you, don’t hide.  Step forward and say, “Here am I.  Send me!” 

Serving others is such a good way to have yourself filled with love.  Look around you today and see how you can go forth for Christ.
