A Call to Faithful Obedience

Commentators explain that God gives Isaiah a difficult commission, warning him that his message will be rejected. This was meant to fortify the prophet so he wouldn't lose courage. The lesson for believers is to remain faithful in obedience to God's call, delivering His truth regardless of the visible results, and leaving the outcome in His hands.
