Before you "shift your gears" and start thinking about Nehemiah (our next stop!) I want to share with you some highlights from the video discussion.
1. Crawford Loritts commented that he wondered if Uzziah had been a distraction to Isaiah. Had God been calling for a long time ... and it took Uzziah's death for Isaiah to hear? Very often we have to get some clutter out of our own lives to be able to hear God.
2. The risk of failure pales into insignificance when compared to the risk of missing God. There is no failure when you are doing His bidding. It matters not what the world sees.
3. Available hearts are what God uses ... more than anything else. He provides the ability and the sufficiency for any tasks He calls mortals to.
4. When Isaiah's lips were cleansed, THEN his ears were opened. Again ... and again ... and again we hear the need for cleansing ... and it can only be done by God.
5. Don't try to go BACK to missed opportunities. When God gives another opportunity ... take it as a fresh moment, a new thing ... and say "Yes, Lord. Here am I."
