God tells Isaiah precisely what his calling is and of the effect his words will have on Judah.

God anticipates that the outcome of Isaiah’s work will be frustrating and tedious. No doubt, the road ahead is strewn with seemingly immovable obstacles for Isaiah. One can marvel at Isaiah’s courage...

Lord, thank you for your patience. Please send the Holy Spirit to help me make brave decisions regarding your consistent call on my life. Amen.

Resumen de la Escritura

The theme of calling is continued in this week’s readings. Isaiah has a vision of God on the throne and is terrified because he knows that he is unworthy; yet he is being called by God. The psalmist, traditionally David, praises God for having a purpose for his life and bringing it to completion. Paul echoes Isaiah’s sentiments of his own unworthiness to the Corinthians. While assuring his readers of the reality of Christ’s bodily resurrection, Paul recognizes that he preaches only by the grace of God. When Jesus is calling his disciples, Simon Peter recognizes him as the Lord and cowers because he feels unworthy—much like the prophet Isaiah had done. These readings teach us that God’s call is based not on our worthiness but on our willingness.
