Your are already, ready

Sunday February 4th, Isaiah 6: 5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty." 6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for." Most of us feel inadequate to go do the work God has called us to do. Those who do feel up to the task either have no idea what they are getting into, or are suffering from some sort of delusional state. But as in this text, the getting ready for the task is not something we are left out on our own to do, it is God who is getting us ready. That doesn’t mean there is no work on our part, it does mean however, there are no excuses for not going to do the work God has called us to do.
