I said, “Yes!”–Psalm 27:8

Today’s Scripture Reading: Psalms 27-32

My heart has heard you say, “Come and talk with me.” And my heart responds, “Lord, I am coming.”  —Psalm 27: 8

A few months ago I felt the Holy Spirit speak to me…

Dianne, what if I had special things I wanted to talk to you about on early morning walks?  What if you are missing special times with me because you’re not making the effort to take a daily walk?

I have to be honest I feel bad almost daily about not exercising, but I had never thought that not taking a walk was sacrificing “God time.”

But now that I think about it, almost every time I go for a walk I feel closer to God; I feel like He speaks to me.

What if the God of the universe was saying to me “Come and walk with me.  Come and talk with me?”

Just so you know, I ignored God.  Yep, just went on about my life.  You see, I write my blog posts in the morning, so early morning walks are difficult. I just couldn’t fit it in.

For some reason this morning I postponed writing my devotion and went on a walk.  No sooner than I had gotten out of the subdivision, I felt this question bubble up in my mind:

Will you write your blog post at a different time of day and come on a walk with Me each morning?

I said, YES!

I encourage you to ask God where, when, and how He wants to communicate with YOU.  He will answer you!

Sending Monday Blessings Your Way!

    Thank you for this much needed post. It truly spoke to me.

    I used to get up early each morning for a run before work. I would use that time to communicate with the Lord. Life got in the way and I stopped my morning runs. This post reminded me that I need that special time each day. Yesterday, I turned off the radio on my drive in to the office. I just got my time back with the Lord. Amen.

      I feel the same way! For the last three days I’ve made time for my walk. I feel so much better and it’s not because of the exercise! Sending blessings your way today! Thanks for visiting “The Journey!”
