"Here am I. Send me" should be the attitude of every believer in Christ. Whenever a need arises, that should be the attitude with which we should serve the Lord. Most of us would rather say, "God will send someone else or someone more qualified should do it, send them". But Isaiah's response was to take personal responsibility for it. He said in essence, "I'll do it".
Yes, Isaiah 6 is well known as a missionary text but it is also a text for all Christians. We are all commissioned to proclaim the gospel; it is our duty and our privilege. One practical way to apply this text is in the ministry of the church. Whenever you see some work that needs to be done in the church, you should volunteer and take responsibility for it rather than wait until someone asks you to help them. If more people did this, working for the church would be a joy!
