Meditation for July

"He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights." ~ Psalm 18:33

I set this verse to a tune this evening so the sweet girl and I can sing it together. We're at the beginning of our third or fourth read through of Hinds' Feet on High Places (an adapted version for children). This lovely book about a character named "Much-Afraid" and the Chief Shepherd who leads her out of the valley of her fears and into the heights of the kingdom of love really seems to speak to my daughter's heart. It speaks to mine too. And so this is the verse on which we'll meditate this month.

You know, I'm pretty sure I have that book on my shelf somewhere, but I've never read it. Methinks I should change that...

Erin, it's really a lovely story. Heavy on the allegory (which is spelled out even more in the kid-friendly version, I suspect) but very well done. It's definitely where S. is "at" right now -- and I'm finding it's speaking to me very much too!
