Just As I Am
July 31, 2014
Read: Isaiah 55:1-7
Good memories flooded my mind as I sat in a concert. The groups leader had just introduced the song they were about to sing: Just As I Am. I remembered how years ago at the end of his sermons my pastor would ask people to come forward while we sang that song, indicating they would like to receive the forgiveness Christ offers for their sins.
But the leader of the musical group at the concert suggested another occasion when we might sing this song. He commented that he likes to think that when he dies and goes to meet the Lord one day, he will sing in thanks to Him:
Just as I am, without one plea
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou biddst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come!
Years before writing this song, Charlotte Elliott asked a minister how she might find the Lord. He told her, Just come to Him as you are. She did, and later during a discouraging time of illness, she wrote this hymn about the day she came to Christ and He forgave her sin.
In His Word, the Lord encourages us to seek Him: Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near (Isa. 55:6). He calls to our hearts: Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters . . . . Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live (vv.1,3).
Because of Jesus death and resurrection, we can come to Him right now and will one day go into eternity to be with Him forever. Just as I am . . . I come!
Let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:17
Isaiah 55 has rich words of hope for us in its first seven verses. Arguably, however, the chapters most familiar words are found in the next two verses: For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts (vv.8-9). These verses offer hope and assurance. God is in control and sees the big picture.

Seeing those firefighters from Whiting Field which is close to Pensacola reminds me of something.
A few years ago, the fuel storage tanks at NAS Pensacola caught on fire. The Navy fought the fire all night then finally asked Eglin AFB for assistance.
I read that the Air Force Firefighters put it out within 10 minutes of arriving.

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sally forth today? Nice weather? How’s the walking coming along?
We have beautiful looking rain clouds sitting on the mountains, but no rain expected. I just took a picture and will try to post it after I get home.
