My Meadow Chair

"She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said." Luke 10:39

Have you ever taken a walk not knowing, nor thinking what lies ahead?

You are in need to just get away, be alone, to stretch, and be with God . . . on the trail.

It has an air of refreshment to it . . .

When you take the time to be with Him, exclusive, to be apart from the attractions, the calls of the world systems, the glamour, frills, and sparkle of Madison Avenue and you purposefully walk alone choosing the quiet meadow, the road less traveled, the trail that leads you to the unknown, it is here where God will meet you.

As you make the bend and you look up . . . each step in silent adoration of God's goodness . . . drawing closer and you see on the hill far away . . . the beauty of the Lord.

Yes, it is what your mind pictured when you drew nearer to the vision that has become tangible . . . it is real . . . it is the "chair," the green little seat waiting for you and it is at the foot of the cross.

It waits for someone to kneel before the King who has come off the cross . . . who finished the greatest assignment, who lives forever to walk with those who will invite Him into their home, their hearts, their favorite chairs . . .

When will you take that walk in the meadow . . . God is calling.

"One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple." Psalm 27:4
