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
