The Lord called me before my birth; from within the womb he called me by name. Isaiah 49:1

One of the biggest differences between God and the human is in the ability of the Almighty to be able to speak things into existance as if they were whereas us humans speak out of what we physically see.

God the Creator called out for light and immediately light appeared. Just think about this for a moment. Light had never existed before. There was no previous template to follow, no markers to give instruction, just a voice. Yet this voice was the voice of God. Behind this voice was not only the power of a sovereign God, but the detailed plan of the ultimate designer. Light was just a part of a bigger design.

So when God called Isaiah, it wasn’t out of Isaiah’s achievements, it wasn’t out of Isaiah’s past performance. It wasn’t even because Isaiah was a great man of faith. No, it was because Isaiah had been created to be part of God’s greater plan. Just as God spoke light into existance so he also spoke Isaiah’s calling to be a prophet into existence.

The incredible thing about God is that he didn’t just stop with light nor with a man named Isaiah, but God is still speaking! When he speaks he calls nothing into something and that something is always astounding.

You may feel like a nobody or what you are doing week in week out is achieving nothing, but what you may not know is that God had a plan and you have a place within that plan. Your place was spoken into existence even before you were aware and that place is part of something that is great.

Don’t fight what God has already spoken, allow the great Creator to shape and mold His incredible design.
