Isaiah 6:8 / Verse of the day & Daily Devotion

“Here I Am! Send Me.”

The prophet Isaiah describes an incredible vision that God gave him in Isaiah 6. He saw the Lord on a throne with angelic beasts flying around crying, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory!” (Isaiah 6:3 NIV)

An angelic being then came to Isaiah, took a burning coal and touched his mouth with it to show the removal of his guilt and the forgiveness of his sin. (Isaiah 6:7) That’s when Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” (Isaiah 6:8)

Isaiah responded willingly and said, “Here I am! Send me.” 

When Jesus came to earth He had an effect on people similar to the one God had on Isaiah. Many people who came face to face with Jesus were forever changed. He forgave their sins, removed their guilt, and healed their bodies. And when Jesus called His disciples, they willingly followed Him. When He sent them out to minister, they promptly went. 

And before ascending into heaven, Jesus said, “go into all the world and make disciples.” His desire was that as His disciples lived their lives, they would tell people about Him and teach others everything He said. (Matthew 28:18-20) 

What does this mean for us?

God might call some of us to go out into different parts of the world, and He might call others to stay where they are and become teachers, leaders, pastors, mothers, fathers, creatives, business owners, farmers, and active members of their local communities. 

So in what ways do you need to say “yes” to God’s call today? What daily opportunities do you have to tell people about Jesus? Regardless of what you do or who you are, each of us can say, “Here I am! Send me.”

Matthew 5:3 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

Hope for the Poor in Spirit

Jesus began His famous Sermon on the Mount with an upside-down perspective and eight counter-cultural blessings—commonly known as the beatitudes. 

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

To be physically poor is to lack resources or material possessions. The word "poor" might trigger a mental image of someone who can’t pay their bills, can’t break free from the cycle of poverty, or can’t afford food, clothing, or shelter.

So what does it mean to be spiritually poor, and why does Jesus think that’s a good thing? 

Those who realize their own spiritual poverty know that, without God, they are spiritually bankrupt. Those who are poor in spirit understand the desperation of their situation—that they can have nothing, do nothing, and be nothing without Him. Those who are poor in spirit recognize that it’s humility, not pride or self-reliance, that’s a ...
