The Holy One of Israel: Called

Isaiah 6:8-9  And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here I am! Send me."  (9)  And he said, "Go, and say to this people: "'Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.'

Most of us would not be excited about a ministry that is doomed to fail from the beginning. But when God calls us to obedience, He is not calling us to "success" by the world's definition. No, He is calling us to fruitfulness. Something we will not understand this side of heaven.
