Bible Walk

"With a leap he stood upright and began to walk" Acts 3:8

Sometimes I get stuck in my head with its visions, its imagery. I catch myself. Hey! With a leap I stand upright, grab my hat, my coat, my camera, head outdoors and begin to walk.

Then the miracle happens. My entire consciousness changes. Birds call. Barren wintry tree limbs wave. Feet feel the earth. The winds sigh. Head stuff lags way behind, disappears. My heart opens and sings.

With a leap he stood upright and began to walk.

Terms must be used. Let us use the terms creator and creature. Creator is infinite. Creature is finite. As infinite, Creator cannot be known. As infinite, creator is no object. I capitalize Creator to show it is no object. If we worship Creator as an object, it becomes creator. We make Creator into a thing. Our eye becomes dull. This is an eye dull (idol).

Bible -- Walk

Today I begin meditating on the word "walk" in the Bible. I will use Strong's Concordance and investigate each verse as it appears (from Genesis to Revelation). I love to walk. I will "walk" through the Bible. If you wish to join me, click on. If not, ignore me or delete me. I walk on.

Verse One
"Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee." Genesis 13:17

To walk, the first action has to be to get up. Get up out of the stale old, the frozen positioning. Arise. A good word "arise." Reminds me of bread dough preparing for an oven bake. You may look as if you are doing nothing but inside you are rising up; the body then follows. Arise.

Walk through the land. The land may be from here to the bathroom or from here to the kitchen. Doesn't matter. Walk it. The length and breadth of it. As you walk, it is claimed. It is given to you. And you are given to it. You are each others. You are the path you walk.

After claiming the land of your dwelling place, your house, your apartment, your shelter, walk outside. Feel your feet on the earth. Look at the sky. Breathe the air. Listen to the sounds. Claim the ground you walk on and in as your spiritual space. Allow it to claim you.

Go for your walk. Kiss the earth with your feet. Swing your arms. Lift your face and laugh. Breathe! Walk. Continue walking through the day, whenever you are on your feet. It will be given to you. What will? You will find out.
