Isaiah 40:21-31

Throughout Epiphany, we will be exploring the theme of CALLING.  We have heard the stories of Samuel and Jonah and Jeremiah, and this Sunday, we will hear God’s call to each of us through the prophet Isaiah.  How is God calling you today?  What does that look/feel like?  And how do you resonate (or not) with the ways God has called people in the past?

1 Samuel 3:1-10  

 

A child once dreamed the Voice was calling his name . . . “Samuel!” 

Fisherman once heard the Voice when a young man from Galilee bid them follow.

And still the Voice calls out today . . . can you hear it?

Here I am.  Send me.

Moses protested vehemently as the Voice spoke at the burning bush. 

Mary stood amazed as the Voice proclaimed impending birth.

And still the Voice calls out today . . . can you hear it?

Here I am.  Send me.

Rosa Parks followed the Voice to the front of the bus. 

Martin Luther King, Jr. heard the Voice even in the midst of unspeakable violence. 

And still the Voice calls out today . . . can you hear it?

Here I am.  Send me.

The Voice beckons from humble places—from the tears of hungry children, the cries of the frail, the longing of the lonely, the pleas of those whose dreams have been too long deferred.

And still the Voice calls out today . . . can you hear it?

Here I am.  Send me.
