August 19th People Reflection

Friday 8/18/2005

John 4.1-26-You don’t know what God wants to give you, and you don’t know who is asking you for a drink

1 Chronicles 15.1-16.7-David wanted everyone to see God- in that sacred chest being brought to Jerusalem

Zechariah 4-I am the LORD All-Powerful. So don’t depend on your own power or strength, but on my Spirit

Isaiah 51.1-6-Listen to me, you that seek the LORD-my salvation will be forever

Deuteronomy 2.1-7-we journeyed back into the wilderness…Surely the LORD God has blessed you in all your undertakings; he knows your going through this great wilderness.

Psalm 105.1-11-O give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, make known his deeds among the peoples…seek his presence continually

"Come on—let’s take a walk"—A friend at work- a walk- usually direction or advice or just time to talk- a break away from things- sometimes I think God wants me to take a walk- actually maybe many times for me- and in those times I don’t know what God wants to give me- and he always does give something- sometimes I feel he asks me for a drink- will I serve him?- David not only walked with God – he danced before God- sometimes I feel that joy in my walks- feel like dancing- foolishness – reminds me of a song I’ve heard- but when God walks with me I am compelled to share the joy he brings with others- I am compelled to listen to him- to hear of his salvation- to listen for his guidance- I’m walking into – through – sometimes out of the wilderness of life and I need to hear God speak- I need to love – serve and obey him- and to do this I need to walk with him- dance with him and listen to him and feel his presence continually- cause he’s always there- even when I distance myself- he is there- "Come on—let’s take a walk"

Prayer- Lord, let’s walk- I’ll listen, love, serve and obey – and maybe do a dance along the way. -- Amen
