What Wilt Thou Have Me To Do?

Isa 6:8 "Also, I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send and who will go for us? Then said, here am I; send me!"

The Apostle Paul made this statement at his conversion on the road to Damascus. We often look back at that statement and think of how powerful it really was. The implication is that he was willing to do anything that God asked of him. Was that the truth? I think it was. Because we see that Paul (Saul at the time) was already serving God - or he thought that he was. At least he was trying to. Now, he truly knows God, personally, as Lord and Savior. Jesus is now his Messiah and his desire is serve him the rest of his days. Can you just imagine what this world would be like if every Christian had that same attitude? "Here I am Lord, in Church today, ready to get my marching orders for the days ahead." But, in reality, only a small number of those professing to believe in Christ are actually concerned with God's will for their life. They have established themselves in a career, with a family and obligations. They already have their life planned out as to what will make them happy and secure. Even if they are willing to ask God what He would like for them to do, they usually have restrictions placed there to safeguard them. "Lord, I'll do this, but You know I can't get involved in this because those times are already taken up". When you look at the life of Paul and all that he went through, it is not a desirable life. But, that is what God had for Paul, not you. Paul was very content to serve God and to suffer for God. And God blessed him for that. If you can be content with God's will for you, He will bless you as well. Go ahead, give it a try. You'll be glad that you did.
