May the LORD bless you
            from Zion,
He who made 
       heaven and earth.

                Psalm 134. 3

(When we recognize 
              and acknowledge 
   this basic reality about God,
it changes everything:
how we see God,
how we see others,
how we see ourselves,
our decisions,
responses,
actions,
attitudes,
the very course of our lives,
and what legacy we leave behind.
When we stand 
     in a sanctuary of trees,
or before the vista of mountains,
or examine the intricacies of life,
where does the wonder
      come from,
               if not for the Almighty?
Awe is a call to worship,
      to remind us Who God is,
our Creator 
    and His steadfast love.)

O LORD,
Everything around us
bears Your fingerprints,
far beyond what can be
        explained away.
Help us to view this
        brand new day
with the reverence and awe
  that You have created it
for Your purposes 
and Your glory.
You are the source of blessing,
even in all we do,
even right where 
           we are worshiping.
There are no ordinary days
           in Your book of life,
nothing random,
no small obediences,
no interruptions,
just divine appointments 
and significance
    even in what we do not realize.
Guide us in our worship today
         in all endeavors 
for Your glory,
even in this.
