Recently I have heard so many pleas for help.\u00a0 A missionary friend begging for young men to go to Africa, pastor friends in the Mid-West speaking of needs for pastors in many small town churches.\u00a0 Churches like ours, to which I came after they had been without a pastor for a good while and all the young people had left, are in need of young families to help work, teach and visit.\u00a0 The need of our world is great, yet it seems fewer are answering the call to go.\u00a0 Isaiah had seen the glory of God in a time of great need.\u00a0 King Uzziah had died, he had ruled Judah in a Godly fashion for 52 years and now his son Jotham was coming to the throne and as of yet had not been tested, so how he would lead was unsure.\u00a0 In this time of uneasiness God revealed himself to Isaiah and then presented Isaiah with a challenge.\u00a0 The challenge was who would go and represent God to the people, Isaiah heard the words put forth and said I will take up the challenge.\u00a0 \u00a0God still puts forth that challenge today, the Great Commission has not been revoked.\u00a0 We are still commanded to go and still commanded to pray for laborers.\u00a0 I wonder if we hear the challenge?\u00a0 Let it not be said of us that God sought for a man but could not find one when we could say Here am I; send me!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
