20 Nov 2014; Isa 6:8-13

And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, " Whom shall I send,  and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am! Send me."

The verse speaks about urgency and there is no body to go. Isaiah volunteered. But the people that Isaiah was asked to speak to is worse than the people of Ninevah. The people hear, keep on hearing, but cannot understand. See and keep on seeing but cannot perceived.

But the message Isaiah is to sent is not for these people to understand or to perceive - it is to dull their hearing and seeing, least their hearts understand and turned and be healed.

Wow, is this not the intend of God? Why send Isaiah for such message? and why Isaiah so desire for such a mission?

Isaiah did not know what is the message. He was a servant of God. That speaks with the heart of wanting to serve the Lord.

The people has been dull, stiff neck. So much so that if the mission is for Isaiah to speak the message of repentance and hope, it is a waste of time. so why not speak the message of non repentance or just pray that they will not repent or for false repentant.

Judgement will come.

Pray that I will not be in this state of mind, of hearing and not understand, seeing and not perceive. That the heart will not understand, not turn or be healed.

Come back, turn back. Here I am, send me.
