FULL CORN MOON

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”-Matt 6:31-33

Psalm 34, verse 5-12

⁵ I sought the LORD, and he answered me, delivered me from all my fears. ⁶ Look to him and be radiant, and your faces may not blush for shame. ⁷ This poor one cried out and the LORD heard, and from all his distress he saved him. ⁸ The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he saves them. ⁹ Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the stalwart one who takes refuge in him. ¹⁰ Fear the LORD, you his holy ones; nothing is lacking to those who fear him. Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you fear of the LORD. ¹¹ The rich grow poor and go hungry but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. ¹² Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you fear of the LORD.

While taking a prayer filled hike in the Round Lake, New York; I asked our Lord on the hike to communicate 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.
