...to the land that

   I will show you.

         Genesis 12. 1

(Obedience to God

is not triggered by

   knowing the outcomes,

but by trusting God.

Take one step of

     responding to God,

even if that is only

    how far we can see,

and God will reveal the next

   in His own way

   and in His own time.

We don't have to

       know the reason

       for there to be one.

We don't have to

       know the reason

       in order to obey Him.

Obedience may mean

    going to a new land.

But it often means

   cultivating the ground

   right where

      we already are standing.)

O LORD,

Take us where

    we can know You more,

even if that means

    staying in this place,

fulfilling Your purposes

    in all we do today.

You have placed us here

   for Your eternal ways.

You lead us

     to a new heart

that seeks to honor You

and bring You glory,

no matter where we are,

not for our own favor,

but for the good

          of many people.

Sin always hurts others.

But obedience to You

   always blesses the world.

More than we can know.
