A DEEPER-CLOSER WALK WITH GOD

A DEEPER-CLOSER WALK WITH GOD WHEN I was A little bit younger And a whole lot stronger I used to walk Around Riverview Park A nice park in Pittsburgh, Pa. Two times around Was about 4.4 miles And it would usually take me About 1 hour and 8 minutes But sometimes I would slow down Take a little bit longer And take in the BEAUTY And see the greenery A couple of times I even saw some deer “ALL THIS You were allowed To see That you might know The Lord is God And there is no other” Deuteronomy 4:35 SLOW yourself down And take a DEEPER- CLOSER walk with God We can walk Through life The same way A life Like an exercise WHERE life is a meaningless trudge Or slow ourselves down And take in the greenery And the deer And LIFT our eyes To God And see the world And ALL creation THROUGH NEW EYES Taking a DEEPER-CLOSER- WALK WITH GOD “BLESSED are they Who have learned To Acclaim you Who WALK in the light Of your presence-Lord” Psalm 89:15 “I AM The LIGHT of the world WHOEVER follows me Will never walk in darkness But will have THE LIGHT OF LIFE” John 8:12 SLOW yourself down Walk a little DEEPER Slow yourself down Walk a little closer With God-and with Jesus By slowing ourselves down By choosing the latter It allows us a glimpse Of the DIVINE Here on earth A glimpse of nature And the greenery And the deer A glimpse Of the MASTER'S handiwork And a sense of God's PRESENCE In our everyday life TIME to get away From the hustle and bustle Of the world It's time to take A DEEPER-CLOSER WALK WITH GOD “THE SPIRIT Searches all things Even the DEEP things Of God” 1 Corinthians 2:10 Dear Lord-WE PRAY As we lift Our eyes to you That you HELP us take A DEEPER-CLOSER WALK WITH YOU-OUR LORD In Jesus' name Robert P.
