Have you ever wondered what would happen if, when a prayer was begun at church, God suddenly lifted the church building roof and answered, “Yes, what do you want?” Those dozing would certainly become alert! Pat-prayer phrases would be forgotten! Though individual reactions might differ, Isaiah could speak for all, “Woe is me, for I am ruined.”

The Creator of the universe is real. He is awesome in might and majesty. To be exposed to His presence would drive us all to our knees. Why then, are we not on our knees continually? By faith we know that He lives. The Bible reveals His glory. How can we help but be awed by His presence?

He is here with us now! With full understanding of this truth why do we not, like Isaiah, respond always, “Here am I. Send me!”?

We learn that God has placed each of us in the body just as he desired(1 Corinthians 12:18). Our lives are not our own. Every decision should be made with this in mind. Our decisions concerning our jobs, recreation, or whatever, should be based on this consideration, “Here am I. What would you have me do?”
