Be careful to heed

all these words

which I command you,

that it may go well with you

and your children after you

                                for ever,

when you do what is

          good and right 

in the sight of the LORD your God.

                      Deuteronomy 12. 28

(Be careful to hear

                and heed.

There is profound purpose 

           in faithfulness to God.

God will sustain you,

strategically appoint you,

transform the trajectory of your life,

and directly impact

  those all around you

  and those who come after you,

people you will never know

               on this side of life.)
