He went on His way

through towns and villages,

teaching,

and journeying

    toward Jerusalem.

             Luke 13. 22

(Wherever we go,

whatever we do,

seeking God's Kingdom,

loving and bringing others

with us along the way.

We are often so caught up

in new doors

and fresh opportunities,

we miss being faithful

   in the here and now,

who and what

      is right before us.

Divine appointments

are rarely recognized

              as such.

Others are constantly watching

to see if God is real,

not so much the circumstances,

as in how we respond

    and how we love them.)

O LORD,

Guide us on Your way

                for us,

not just the where,

the when and the what,

but in how we seek You,

how we respond,

and how we love others

   right into Your Kingdom.

Help us to prepare

Your way in the lives of others,

and be ready for any service,

listening to Your voice,

shoes tied on,

our hearts aligned with Yours.

Help us to seek You

     and Your Kingdom

in all that we do today,

wherever,

and among whomever

                 we are.
