Walking with God

Now that the weather is finally nice I've been walking every night, usually by myself or with Isaac in the stroller. It's been great just to talk with God and meditate on whatever truth he brings to my mind. Little by little I am beginning to sense his presence again. So my recommendation of the day is to take a little walk with Jesus, you'll walk farther, feel better, and accomplish something more important than anything else you've got on your list--being with your Creator.



This reminds me of one of my favorite songs as a child:

In God's Green Pastures

In God’s green pastures feeding,
By His cool waters lie,
Soft in the evening walk my Lord and I
All the sheep of His pastures fare so wondrously fine-
His sheep am I

Waters cool
Pastures green
On the mountain
Walk my Lord and I

Dark the Night
Rough the way
Step by Step
My Lord and I

In God’s green pastures feeding,
By His cool waters lie,
Soft in the evening walk my Lord and I
All the sheep of His pastures fare so wondrously fine-
His sheep am I



Did anybody else sing this song? It brings back such good memories of just being with God. As a somewhat less-than-popular kid, God was always my best friend and I was in constant conversation with him (even out loud, which could explain why I didn't have many other friends hehe). I could relate to this song perfectly and that's what I'm wanting in my life now.

Jul,

Thanks for listening to the podcast (prophetically speaking)...I posted a response to your question about SGM being Third Wave.
