I’m preparing for our new CD Release “Reawaken” this Sunday night in Fayetteville, GA. We’d love to
see you there if you are in the Atlanta area! So in thinking about this night, putting the music together,
planning with the wonderful team of our home church, New Hope Church, and praying over every
detail, I find myself anticipating a great night of worship and celebration. I want and need to be
reawakened too. To what? Well, it is spring for one, and the obvious new life blooming and bursting
forth all around naturally draws me to the God who makes all things new. He has awakened my heart
to sing of His glory, once in making me His new creation, but over and over again I want and need to
be reawakened to His glory in the moment. This moment. Let’s face it, not every moment is an “Aha!”
moment filled with ecstatic revelation. No, sometimes our moments are quiet, non-eventful, mundane,
travailing, or even dull. But that’s the very moment I can be reawakened to His Presence. As Brother
Lawrence experienced God’s satisfying Presence even in all things mundane as washing dishes in his
monastic life, we can too, have this abiding presence in our day to day life. Isn’t this the abundant life
Jesus talked about? Reawaken here, Lord. If I take the Word at His word, and offer to God my life as a
living sacrifice, doesn’t everything become worship? Will not His abiding life in me bring glory to
Himself in all things? Not only in tending to things at home or in the workplace, but this reawakens me
to His thoughts for others. Out there. I need and want to be reawakened to seeing people as God sees
them; with His heart. That will definitely take His abiding presence to accomplish. That will take me
receiving His love, thanking Him for it, being filled to overflowing….with living water; so that my prayer
for others becomes not so much for change, but that they be undone by His love.
What do you want to be reawakened too?
Answer in the comment section below and I’ll send you a link to one of our new songs.
The invitation still stands for you to join us as we are Reawakened in a night of worship and celebration, Sunday, April 28th at
6:00 PM at New Hope Baptist Church, South Campus. It would be an honor to be with Him with you.
If not, please feel free to check out the new CD here on our website, (our music), or ITunes, or CD Baby
Blessed and grateful,
Kim
