Daily Devotions Thursday October 12, 2006

The devotions this week are written by Karen Ludwig. The devotions direct
your thoughts to the theme of walking: God walking with us, our walking with
God. 

 

God the Garden variety walker-

Verse 1 

I come to the garden alone, 
While the dew is still on the roses; 
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear, 
The Son of God discloses. 

 

Chorus 

And He walks with me, And He talks with me, 
And He tells me I am His own; 
And the joy we share as we tarry there, 
None other has ever known. 

 

Verse 2 

He speaks, and the sound of His voice 
Is so sweet, The birds hush their singing, 
And the melody that He gave to me, 
Within my heart is ringing.

 

Verse 3 

I'd stay in the garden with Him, 
Though the night around me be falling, 
But He bids me go; Through the voice of woe, 

His voice to me is calling,

 

Why does this song have such a hold on us? I would like to suggest it is
because we are captured by its intimate portrayal of God. One that invites
us to see God as a loving parent, holding us close, telling us of His love
for us. One that we want to linger over a bit longer-

 

God, I love that you walk and talk with me, that you have given my heart a
song. Let me keep singing it!
