The Voice of the Nature of God

Isaiah 6:8 (Amplified Bible)
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for Us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.


When we hear or talk about how God calls us, we often forget the most important aspect of the call; and that is the nature of the one who calls us.The only way to know this call is if we carry the same nature within us of the one who is calling us. There are many, many things in this world that can call us and we need to be in tune with the correct calling. God entwines His call through our lives and only we can distinguish it. God will speak to us over certain things in our lives, and we should keep that between us and God. We should not go to others and seek their opinions on it, but work it out between us and God.
Many get confused because they are too wrapped up in what they think they can do, or what their own interests are, and we will miss the calling of God if we stay wrapped up in our own little bubbles. It is important to come to the end of yourself, truly seek and desire a right relationship with God. Then when we are as Isaiah was, "so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul". Most of us can only hear the sound of our own voices, and we miss what God is saying. When we can be brought to the place where we can hear the voice of God, is a place where we are deeply changed.
