Then all the people departed

each to his house,

and David went home

   to bless his household.

              1 Chronicles 16. 43

(A side effect of worship

--in blessing the name of the LORD--

results in blessing all those

              around us.

Worship changes us.

And that is not limited

            in any way

    to Sundays.

Worshiping God

and realizing Who He is

      --the Almighty--

empowers us to realize

who we are

      --greatly loved by Him.

And that changes

    how we live,

    what we do,

    how we respond to Him,

    how we see others,

    how we see ourselves.

We are no longer

         ruled by circumstances,

but know how to respond

    to whatever is before us

for His glory.)

O LORD,

You are God.

We love You

and worship You

and serve You

   in whatever You place

        before us today,

   wherever You plant us

      to bear fruit

for Your glory

and the wellbeing of those

          around us

and those who come after.

Help us to

not just be faithful

           to Your purposes,

but foremost

  to be faithful to You.

We will never fully realize

       the fruit You bring to it.

Help us to worship You

   in whatever we do today.
