God speaks..... through an Ash Wednesday service

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!

God speaks..... through a Starbucks Cup

Starbucks cup:  "You and Starbucks.  Its bigger than coffee."

Think about this:  "You and God.  Its bigger than religion."

‎"Show me how you work, God; School me in your ways. Take me by the hand; Lead me down the path of truth. You are my Savior, aren't you?"
- Psalm 25:4 - 5 (TM)


"What were we made for? To know God. What aim should we have in life? To know God. What is the eternal life that Jesus gives? To know God. What is the best thing in life? To know God. What in humans gives God most pleasure? Knowledge of himself." - J.I. Packer
