以賽亞對全國悔改的呼召極其迫切，以致他個人蒙召成為先知和所接受的任務必須延到第六章才表白，以賽亞的「禍哉」(我有罪了，賽6：5)遇到上帝的「看哪」(我是聖潔的，賽6：7)，造成以賽亞「我在這裡，請差遣我」(使用我，賽6：8)的請求，與上帝「去」(我要用你，賽6：9)的差派。放在以賽亞面前的任務並不令人羡慕，因上帝要他從靈性上已經耳聾近視的百姓身上開始，但以賽亞在主裡以信心為裝備，從猶大朝廷、宮殿之上開始宣講審判的信息！

        並非上帝要藉著你作什麼，而是你讓上帝在你身上有多少地位，就能被祂使用多少。
        上帝有一份信息要以賽亞傳講──一份聖潔與審判的信息，一份在悲痛中有希望的信息，但在以賽亞領受信息之前，必須先接受負擔！同時必須先與自己的罪決一生死──他的悖逆與屬靈的不冷不熱，才能面對全國的苦難──源自與他同樣悽慘的情況。在以賽亞能夠緊挨著猶大君王站立之前，他必須先跪在宇宙君王的腳前，對上帝的聖潔與莊嚴重燃敬畏之心，而後才能毫無困擾、甘心樂意的服事上帝。
        在你與祂相會之前就想服事祂嗎？接受以賽亞的勸告吧！你先順服，否則不要提出要求，因為這才是真誠的服事！今天靈修完畢，至少和一個人分享你的心得，鼓勵他(或她)也能與主同行。

宮中的殷鑑（賽6：1）
        以賽亞在「烏西雅王崩的那年」蒙召，他的呼召與國王駕崩有關，因王藐視上帝的聖潔而罹患麻瘋早逝──這個情況把整個國家帶上死亡之路！

上帝並不尋找有能力做每一件事的人，而是尋找願意做任何事的人。

        Isaiah's national call for repentance is so urgent that even his personal call and commission to the prophetic office must wait until chapter 6. Isaiah's "Woe" (I am sinful, v, 5) is met by God's "Lo" (I am holy, v. 7), resulting in Isaiah's "Here am I; send me" (I am available, v. 8) and God's "Go" (I want to use you, v, 9), The task set before Isaiah is an unenviable one, for God promises from the start that the people will he spiritually deaf and nearsighted. But armed with confidence in his Immanuel, Isaiah begins to declare harsh words from on high in the courts and palaces of Judah.

        It is not so much what God can do through you as it is what you will allow God to do fo you that determines the measure of your effectiveness for Him.
        God had a message for Isaiah to deliver—a message of holiness and judgment, a message of hope in the midst of heartache. But before His prophet could carry the message, Isaiah had to First carry the burden. He had to come to grips with his own sinful condition—his own waywardness and spiritual lukewarm-ness—before he could confront an entire nation suffering from the same tragic conditions. Before Isaiah could stand toe to toe with the king of Judah, he had to first kneel before the King of the universe. After his vision of God, Isaiah had a rekindled sense of God's awesome holiness and grandeur, and had no trouble volunteering for the Lord's service.
        Are you trying to serve God before you have seen Him? Take a tip from Isaiah: Make no appeal till first you kneel, for that's the way to serve with zeal! After you have walked with God today, share with at least one other person how he or she can walk widi Him too.

An Object Lesson in the Palace (6:1) —
        Isaiah received his call "in the year that king Uzziah died." Thus, his call is linked with the king's death, a premature death by leprosy for flouting God's holiness—the very condition that would bring about the death of the nation as well.

God is not so much seeking those with the ability to do everything, as He is those with the willingness to do anything.
