Isaiah 6 contains a famous vision of the prophet being touched on the lips with a lump of burning coal, culminating in his famous declaration, ‘Here am I; send me.’ But it’s the puzzling, less comfortable latter part of the chapter that is quoted by Jesus and Paul. Like Jesus’s message to a generation turned away from God’s will, God’s word to Isaiah is one of judgment. Fortunately for us, God’s judgment is never about scrapping the whole project but rather the hope of a New Thing happening on the other side.

What circumstances do you need courage for right now to trust that God is doing a new thing?
