Purpose: |
Here's the senario of faith. God calls us, we respond. If you can't think of anything else to say to God, try these three words, "Here I am." Those words open the door to unimaginable joy, delight and satisfaction.
Commentary: | When God stops by, it isn't just to say hello. He is on a mission, and is pursuing us to be one of his followers. Once we agree to that, a long and fascinating process begins to change our hearts, cleansing them of the "old man" perspectives, and transforming them into "new man" characteristics.
This is called sanctification, and the Holy Spirit is very good at it, if we will let him. Right before our eyes old desires fade, and new ones begin to take root. We start to see that the world doesn't really revolve around us afterall.
Our worldview changes. God's purposes start to make our heart beat faster. We want what he wants, and we hate what he hates - mainly sin. We begin to spot it in ourselves, and confess it to a smiling and understanding God who had his Son pay the price for our forgiveness.
And then, as in the cases of Isaiah or Jeremiah, when God says "jump!' we say "how high?" Oh sure, we may have questions and act hesitantly, but the call is there, nonetheless, and we must respond in the affirmative. What God wants is always best, however much it surprises us or catches us offguard.
