This verse provides a powerful example of a divine encounter leading to a call to action. Isaiah's encounter with God's glory and holiness compels him to respond with readiness and obedience to God's call to be a messenger. It illustrates the transformative power of encountering God, leading to a life dedicated to fulfilling His purposes. In the context of our series on becoming a global center for divine encounters, Isaiah 6:8 serves as a reminder of the connection between encountering God and being sent out to impact the world. As we encounter God and experience His presence, we are empowered to respond to His call with boldness and obedience, ultimately contributing to the fulfillment of His kingdom purposes on a global scale.
