6:8 ‘ 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!”’
The call to speak up
and act out in any sphere of life is not an easy one. We might rather presume our
own destiny and avoid, at all costs, confrontation, travail, opposition,
trouble, discomfort and uncertainty.
Yet, not saying yes is
not a serious option. The call to speak and act keep returning. The prophet
Jeremiah put it this way:
‘But if I say, “I will
not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,” his word is in my heart
like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I
cannot.’ (Jer. 20:9)
Resistance is futile. ‘Here
am I. Send me’.
