devotionTHIRTEEN - I'm Forever Yours

A worship song by Planet Shakers. In Isaiah 6:8, the prophet Isaiah says in his vision, "Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, 'Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?' And I said, 'Here am I. Send me!'" Isaiah stood up and answered God's call. He was willing to go forth to bring God's message to the Jewish nation, even if it was one of judgment in Isaiah 6. However, the message doesn't end there because of their sin. The rest of Isaiah continues with the Good News of the promised Messiah who is to come (7:10-16), who will suffer for the sins of man, but in the process atone for our sins (53:10-12).

In essence, that is the Good News that we are to proclaim. But can we like Isaiah, say "Here am I. Send me!"? Lord, we are forever yours, a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that we may declare the praises of him who called us out of darkness into his wonderful light. (1 Peter 2:9). Help us to obey your commandments.

And,today's 29th Feb. Once in every 4 years,this date will appear in the calendar! Historical moments man! Maybe today's devotion will mark something in our life, marks a start of great things that is to come. Happy 29th feb!
