January 14 Called Of GOD<\/p>\n
\u201cWhom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.\u201d Isaiah 6:8<\/p>\n
God did not address the call to Isaiah; Isaiah overheard God saying, \u201cWho will go for us?\u201d The call of God is not for the special few, it is for everyone. Whether or not I hear God\u2019s call depends upon the state of my ears; and what I hear depends upon my disposition. \u201cMany are called but few are chosen,\u201d that is, few prove themselves the chosen ones. The chosen ones are those who have come into a relationship with God through Jesus Christ whereby their disposition has been altered and their ears unstopped, and they hear the still small voice questioning all the time, \u201cWho will go for us?\u201d It is not a question of God singling out a man and saying, \u201cNow, you go.\u201d God did not lay a strong compulsion on Isaiah; Isaiah was in the presence of God and he overheard the call, and realized that there was nothing else for him but to say, in conscious freedom, \u201cHere am I, send me.\u201d Get out of your mind the idea of expecting God to come with compulsions and pleadings. When our Lord called His disciples there was no irresistible compulsion from outside. The quiet passionate insistence of His \u201cFollow Me\u201d was spoken to men with every power wide awake. If we let the Spirit of God bring us face to face with God, we too shall hear something akin to what Isaiah heard, the still small voice of God; and in perfect freedom will say, \u201cHere am I; send me.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
