I had the wonderful privilege of joining with Christian brothers and sisters across denominational lines at a recent Ash Wednesday service. One of the highlights was lifting our voices together in the singing of "Just as I Am." I had never heard that song divorced from an invitation to come pray at the close of a service. My heart was touched as the words of the hymn were incorporated into our preparation for the message
Think about this: Sometimes we can become so focused on tradition or the way "I think it should be", we might miss God breaking in and speaking. When out of the routine, or comfort zone, it may be fertile ground for a God sighting.
Isaiah 58:11 (NKJV) "The Lord will guide you continually, And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail."
"He has right to interrupt your life. He is Lord. When you accepted Him as Lord, you gave Him, the right to help Himself to your life anytime He wants." - Henry Blackaby
Listen to this wonderful hymn with fresh ears:
Just As I Am by Brian Doerksen
Blessings!
