Stand up and be counted

I was thinking this evening about stuff. This is what the stuff was...I can be appreciate at the moment how hard it is to stand up for something you believe in and how hard it can be after that first step as well. I genuinely believe there is a harvest out there and all of us have the potential to do so much for God. God created us with the ability to do amazing things for Him. After all, Jeremiah says that His Plans are 'to prosper us and not to harm us'.


In Isaiah 6, God asked 

"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"

Isaiah's reply is simple yet hugely challenging for us today. He stood up and was counted!

"Here am I. Send me!"

Isaiah wasn't some great perfect man. He had messed up like we all have. In verse 5 he says, on thinking he had seen God,

"Woe to me! I cried. I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."

GOD ISN'T LOOKING FOR PERFECT PEOPLE, HE IS LOOKING FOR WILLING PEOPLE. 


The challenge for me, and for all of us, is are we ready to respond to the call of God in our lives? 
If not, why not, and let's prepare ourselves for the massive plans God has. This country needs to know the Saviour and we can play a part in the greatest mission ever! Let's go!
