The Lord gave this message to Jonah son of Amittai: “Get up and go to the great city of Nineveh. Announce my judgment against it because I have seen how wicked its people are.” But Jonah got up and went in the opposite direction to get away from the Lord. [Jonah 1:1-3a (NLT)]

Then I heard the Lord asking, “Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?” I said, “Here I am. Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 (NLT)]

When God calls, will we hear his voice or turn a deaf ear? And, once we hear his voice, will we be willing to heed his call? Like Jonah, will we run the opposite direction or, like Isaiah, will we respond, “Here I am. Send me!”?
