And Jehoiada made a covenant

between himself

and all the people

          and the king

that they should 

   be the LORD's people.

          2 Chronicles 23. 16

(To be known as the LORD's

    and choose to live that way.

How does that reality change

     what I do today

     and how I do it?

God lays His day before

       each one of us

to place

   the imprint of His glory

             all over it.

Nothing is insignificant

    in how we live,

    how we pray,

    how we respond to God.

Do others see

         a difference in us

  because we know Him

  and we belong to Him?)

O LORD,

Help others to see

         that we are Yours.

Help us to realize

         that we are Yours.

May all that we do today,

    our attitudes,

    our actions,

    our thoughts,

         bring You glory.

May all that we are in You

   point others to You.

Help us to not just be

           known as Yours

    but know we are Yours.

We belong to You.

   May that reality

   change our hearts

         in all we do.

Even today.

Even in this.
