"Here I am" - Hineini (Hebrew)
The term is just like a father answering his enquiring son in day-to-day life (Ge.22:7). The word "Hineini" gives us hope, assurance, and strength in times of trouble to the one in need. We can see both humans and God replying with this word.
1. God answering to humans :
Isaiah 58:9 and 65:1.
2. Humans answering to God in humility :
Genesis 22:1 and v11.
Just close your eyes and call upon the Lord, as in Romans 8:15, "For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” ", and as in Galatians 4:6, "And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” ".
We can be sure of Him answering us back, "Hineini, Hineini", my son.
