spontaneous worship

So this story is definitely going to make me look a little girly, but I think it is one that I need to tell anyways. So this past Sunday (palm Sunday) I was flying out to do some wedding stuff with my future Mrs. And as a plus I did get to hang out with the boys who happened to be on spring break as well. But anyways, I went to church led worship, got something quick for lunch and then headed over to the office to get ready for the easter practice. I got there and started running thru the music and before I even got to the Easter music I got stuck on the song Jesus Blood. Mind you, this was the Jake Holman version from about 3 years ago, one of my favorites. But this time there was something that made me listen to the song 3 times back to back to back. On the last time I don’t know why but the word forever just was just yelling at me. “King forever” is the actual phrase that I just couldn’t seem to fathom. And I was thinking about that, the chorus hit me, “Jesus blood NEVER fails me.” This song uses these constant words. There is nothing iffy about them. He will be king forever, and his blood never has or will fail me! But as it so happened I couldn’t think to long about this, I had some singing to do.
After practice was over, I didn’t remember this instance, I had to much on my mind trying to get ready to leave town. So, I guess it was a fleeting moment of the past…but it did end up catching me again.
As I sat waiting for the plane at the airport I was full of thoughts about college basketball, as today was the holy day of the selection day. But the couple in front of me wanted to watch the news, and since they were paying customers of this restaurant, I really couldn’t say much. So as they turned the channel, I turned to my ipod. I clicked one of the play lists and sat there looking at the planes coming and going and how odd it was that every single person outside had orange on. The song that came on was a song called “Revelation Song.” And as I came to a certain part I remembered the thoughts I had earlier in the day, and how the hurriedness of my day had drawn me from them. As I picked up my ipod to go back to the song Jesus Blood, the chorus of Revelations Song kicked in, “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” I froze and thought there it is again. There is no questioning this chorus. It isn’t who might have been, and maybe could be, and who just might come again. No he was, He is and He forever will be. This is the girly part I mentioned before, as I listened to these songs, and thought about my Lord, the assurance of my salvation, and the fact that I am so blessed to have faith in the one true God, I began to cry. I was overcome with humility at why me and not someone else. Now I didn’t start bawling my eyes out, it was more like a single tear, like the Indian from those ads back in the 90s who was crying over all the litter in America. So I guess you could say I had a Navajo cry.
All of this to say God can grab you anywhere, out of any circumstance. I was busy, I had a frustrating morning, and was trying to get everything together and God was like slow down, take a minute. Think about me. And finally I did.
