Tell the righteous 

that it shall be 

      well for them,

for they shall eat

  the fruit of their deeds.

             Isaiah 3. 10

(Circumstances 

     don’t change the fruit

God brings out of

  faithfulness to Him.

Stay at our post,

stand in the gap,

do with excellence 

   what He has strategically 

   placed before us.

No act of faithfulness 

    is ever insignificant.

God is bearing fruit

   even when we cannot

        yet see it,

even in the hard places,

fruit that sustains 

   beyond our lives.)

O LORD,

Help us to know 

Your hand upon us,

Your fruit through us,

Your Presence 

   even in the dark valley.

Even in turmoil,

       You are with us.

Your Presence changes

    how we see,

    what we see,

and how we respond.

You are using us

     as salt and light.

And circumstances 

         don’t change that.
