Do you know the first thing that happens after the seraph places the burning coal upon Isaiah's lips? He hears something. He hears God asking a question, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" This is not a coincidence. When we worship, we put ourselves in a position to hear the Lord's voice. As we are cleansed of all sinfulness, we are being prepared for wonderful works of service (Eph. 2:8-9). We become useful instruments in His hands to accomplish his kingdom agenda here on the earth. Worship let's us in on God's heartbeat. Worship fills us with His nature, His life, His ideas, and His plans. Worship empowers us to do great things because we've seen Him. We understand who He is and who we are. We are readied for a great commission because He has embraced us. This gives us the confidence and courage we need to then say, "Lord, here am I, send me!"
Looking forward to a great worship Sunday! Stay warm!
