I’ll just keep on walking!!  You have to understand my life to understand the depth of this song for me.

You keep on walking when:

You stumble and fall.

You keep on walking when:

You run into a 20 mile detour that is all up hill.

You keep on walking when:

You have no one to walk with you.

You keep on walking when you:

See no signs of the end of the road.

You keep on walking when:

you want to quit but Jesus says “continue on.”

You keep on walking when:

the only company you have is the judging and jeering committee.

You keep on walking when:

All signs point to you going in the wrong direction but Jesus says to “go anyway.

How many “keep on walking scenerios can you come up with that is applicable to your life?

Psalm 57

A David Psalm, When He Hid in a Cave from Saul

 1-3 Be good to me, God—and now! I’ve run to you for dear life.
   I’m hiding out under your wings
      until the hurricane blows over.
   I call out to High God,
      the God who holds me together.
   He sends orders from heaven and saves me,
      he humiliates those who kick me around.
   God delivers generous love,
      he makes good on his word. 

 4 I find myself in a pride of lions
      who are wild for a taste of human flesh;
   Their teeth are lances and arrows,
      their tongues are sharp daggers.

 5 Soar high in the skies, O God!
      Cover the whole earth with your glory!

 6 They booby-trapped my path;
      I thought I was dead and done for.
   They dug a mantrap to catch me,
      and fell in headlong themselves.

 7-8 I’m ready, God, so ready,
      ready from head to toe,
   Ready to sing, ready to raise a tune:
      ”Wake up, soul!
   Wake up, harp! wake up, lute!
      Wake up, you sleepyhead sun!”

 9-10 I’m thanking you, God, out loud in the streets,
      singing your praises in town and country.
   The deeper your love, the higher it goes;
      every cloud is a flag to your faithfulness.

 11 Soar high in the skies, O God!
      Cover the whole earth with your glory!
