National Association of Free Will Baptists Convention

Isaiah 6:8

1. Isaiah's commitment came after brokenness and cleansing

• Before God can do a work through a person, He has to do a work in a person.
• Isaiah's brokenness and cleansing led to a commitment to serve God.

2. Isaiah's commitment didn't come with conditions

• Isaiah committed without conditions - he committed to God before he knew all the details. His response to God shows obedience and a desire to please God.
• Isaiah understood the task would be hard, but he relied on God for guidance and understanding one day at a time.
• How far can God trust you with a call? Are you faithful to carry through, even through hard times and trials?

3. Isaiah's commitment was based on the holiness of God and a desire to please Him

• Our success is not determined by the world. It is determined by our willingness to serve God and please Him.
• Isaiah committed fully to God. He continued in faith, even when things didn't go like he wanted.

Are you as committed as Isaiah?
