In Isaiah 6 the text reads:

1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.

2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.

4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.

5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:

7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.

8 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.

Here am I, send me. This passage of scripture has a special place in my heart, and for most who have been called to preach, this text resonates in our spirits in a particular way,although the Bible as a whole is special and each passage in the Bible is special, this particular text seems to hit people in an extra special way. In the text we get a clear and vivid account of the call of Isaiah by God, and every preacher who has been called by God to preach has had an Isaiah moment, that moment of clarity when you realize that you are called by God to preach, he same can be said about all Christians when they realize what God has called them to do on His behalf, it is a special calling, whatever your call may be, it is special. In every call, there is a mandate to deliver a message, a special message the message of God. No matter how God may have you do your assignment it is special. No matter if it is something you have to say, or if it is some action you are called to take…..it is special. It takes a special God, to make special preparation, for a special people, to deliver a special message, for a special purpose………Have You had your Isaiah moment?

God Bless You and Yours,
