Isaiah wanted to communicate a message that was burning in his heart. This divine message created an urgency that drove him to connect with others and proclaim the word of God. A kind of divine compulsion to speak and act.
The feeling of pursuing a divine calling releases incredible energy. Below are some examples of exactly that:
- Abraham was called by God in a divine visitation (Genesis 12)
- Joseph was called by God in a dream (Genesis 37)
- Moses was called by God through a burning bush (Exodus 3-4)
- Aaron was called by God through his brother Moses (Exodus 4)
- Joshua was called by God through Moses (Exodus 17)
- Gideon was called by God through an angel (Judges 6)
- Samuel was called by God through God's audible voice (1 Samuel 16)
- David was called by God through the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16)
- Paul was called by God through a vision on his journey (Acts 9)
- Timothy was called by God through the preaching of Paul (1 Timothy 1)
