dotDevos: Use Me

Use Me

What do you do when you want to be use for God? How do you let him know?

Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for." 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 6:6-8 (NIV)

If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.
2 Timothy 2:21 (NLT)

It doesn't take fireworks to get God's attention and let Him know that you want to be used for Him. Not at all. Simply just tell him. Got that? Here it is again, just let God know you want to be used for him. As Isaiah lips were purified and prepared before he spoke of the Lord, God may make preparations in our heart and life. If you were going to dig into your delicious Friday night dinner would you want to dive in with the fork that wasn't washed since Monday's four cheese lasagna? I don't think so. Wouldn't it be nice to know that you will be enjoying your dinner with a fork that has been thoroughly scrubbed of residue and is sparkly clean? Just like the fork we must be prepared for God to use. Allowing God to prepare you can be a hard and painful trial, but it will allow you to be fully prepared and ready to serve Him.


Let God know! Let the Preparation Begin! Serve Him!

God Bless
