Today in Worship
When Isaiah “saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up,” he was overcome with an awareness of his sin and “unclean lips” (Is. 6:1, 5). But the Lord atoned for his sin, took away his guilt and sanctified his lips with “a burning coal” from the altar (Is. 6:6–7). Not only was he rescued from death, but he was called and sent as a prophet of the Lord’s Word (Is. 6:8–9). Similarly, when Simon Peter and his companions “caught such a large number of fish” at the Word of Jesus, he humbled himself and said, “Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!” (Luke 5:8). But Jesus comforted Simon and called him with these words “Don’t be afraid; from now on you will fish for people” (Luke 5:10–11). Where ever you find yourself today, young or old, encouraged or broken, equipped or just starting, Jesus wants to use you to be about His mission to love people. In Jesus you have purpose and He will work ahead of you to “catch people”. Jesus is calling you today to follow Him.
