A DEPER-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
