...before the LORD,

where I will meet with you,

to speak with you there.

               Exodus 29. 42

(A daily appointment

that cannot but change

the course of my day

and the

  trajectory of my life.

Not a religion,

not set of beliefs,

not another worldview,

    but all about relationship

    with the Almighty.

Others around us

   --even those in the church--

are watching us desperately

to see if God is real

and if our lives

     are any different,

     because we know Him.)

O LORD,

We talk about waiting on You,

   when it is mostly

            You waiting on us

to come before You

and to bring before You

      all that we carry.

"Tell Me everything,

and watch what

            I do with it."

You are working Your goodness

           into our lives.

You are weaving Your glory

           through our lives.

What different lives we would live,

      if we walked with You.

First response,

not last resort.
