Psalm 34, verse 5

I sought the LORD, and he answered me, delivered me from all my fears.

Yesterday I took a prayer filled hike in the Round Lake, New York area in celebration of the Feast of Corpus Christi. I asked our Lord on the hike to speak to me as we walked along the way. The Lord spoke to my heart and said that in this world there are two kinds of people those that give and those that get. He said amazingly those that get never get enough and those who give always get enough.  

 As we walked Christ pointed out to me the things that I should be giving to others.

As I started the hike I noticed the sign with the map of the hike was reversed and if I did not study it closely I would be lost. Christ urged me to:

·         Give good directions.

Walking along I met others walking or riding bikes coming from the opposite direction that looked rather glum and miserable. Christ urged me to greet them. As I did I noticed their expression changed from glum to happy.

·         Give greetings.

Walking along I heard music from a tavern near the trail. Christ urged me to:

·         Give music and song to gladding others hearts.

Walking along I met a small turtle that on seeing me tucked into his shell. Christ urged me to:

·         Give others respect and privacy.

Walking along I passed a stream and notice the path was shady. Christ urged me to:

·         Give refreshment to others.

Finally as I was walking along as the Lord answered me I noticed He had delivered me from all my fears.
