Purpose often begins before we feel ready for it.

Scripture Anchor

“And I said, Here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:8 KJV

Apostolic Insight

Isaiah’s response is familiar. But look at what happened before he said it. He had encountered God’s holiness, and had become painfully aware of his own condition.

His lips had been touched by the coal from the altar, after which came the question:“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?”

Isaiah did not respond because he believed himself exceptionally qualified. He responded after God had dealt with him. That is refinement leading into purpose.

Oftentimes we keep waiting to become the person who feels completely prepared. That person may never arrive.

God’s call frequently requires us to step forward with what we know, what He has developed in us, and a willingness to keep learning along the way.

Availability does not mean recklessness. It means that when God makes the assignment clear, fear does not get the final vote.

“Here am I.” Not because I know everything, nor because I can control the outcome, but because I am available.

Ponder This

Has God been waiting for my willingness while I have been waiting to feel completely ready?

Declaration

My life is available to God. Fear, insecurity, and inadequacy will not prevent my obedience.

#PrayerofAgreement

Father, here I am.

Continue preparing what needs preparation and correcting what needs correction.

I receive discernment to recognize Your direction and courage to obey it.

I place my gifts, experience, time, and strength at Your disposal. Send me where You desire to use me.

In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amein.

Shalom,
