“I Can Only Imagine”: From Israel #1

“I can imagine what I would do when my face is before You. When I stand in Your presence, what will my heart feel? Will I dance for You, Jesus, or in awe of You be still. Will I sing hallelujah or be able to speak at all. I can only imagine.”

imageWell, recording artists Mercy Me asked the above questions in wonderment! As I sit on the Boeing 777 plane taking thirty of us across the Atlantic on a tour of Israel, I am 2 hours away from my destination!

And I am asking the same questions that Mercy Me did.

What will I do when the plane touches down at the Ben Gurion  Airport?

What will I do after going through baggage claim and stand on the outside of the airport, on the grounds that He consecrated?

What will I do when our driver picks us up and takes us to the kibbutz in Galilee where I will stay? Galilee was the headquarters of Jesus’s ministry.

What will I do when I board a boat that will sail across the Sea of Galilee?

Or when I teach in the Garden of Gethsemane!?

Or at the Pool of Siloam?

Or stand on the grounds of the ill-fated Jericho!

Well, I can only imagine . . . and you, well, you have to wait for my 2nd blog.

PRAYER: Abba, none of us has any idea what that day will be like when really do stand before You, but until then we want to live every day in Your presence as if it were the last one! And in the land that you blessed with a promise, I want to encounter you in everything I do! Amen!
