Let's Go For a Walk


H2odevos p4p Lent 2013 “Let’s Go for a Walk”




"Ever walk with me Lord
Each night and day a rejoicing
With kindness the harmony, justice the beat
You've turned my footsteps to dancing
Oh ever walk with Lord"

Ever Walk With Me by Peter Mayer


Peter and I have been working on this project "Passages4Passages" for some time now. We both came to the mutual decision that our lives, our faith, our vocations and own beings have been so formed and shaped by Bible passages that we wanted to find a way to retell them and present them in a new way for the passages of life, hence the phrase "Passages4Passages." At first Peter told me he didn't "get it," but the more he has thought about it, the more it has grown on him. I know that whenever I see or hear him sing a song like "Without Love," which is a paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 13, that we are onto something.

And so it is with this song of his that he wrote several years ago. It is a restatement of Micah 6:8.

8"He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
and what does the LORD require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?"
 
Peter's request, "ever walk with me Lord" really says it all. It's so basic and foundational for what being in alignment with God is all about.

So, today, have a great "walk."
In fact, imagine the Lord walking with you. It will make all the difference in the world.

Peace,
