"Why did you ever send me?"

...But the LORD said to Moses,

"Now you shall see

        what I will do..."

        Exodus 5.22, 6.1

(This is not the end of our story,

   but just the

          most exciting part.

Moses had no idea

   the mighty things

   God was doing

          through him,

that of which we still tell about

     thousands of years later.

We may never see the outcome

    of our obedience,

nor the lasting effects

   of our faithfulness to God,

but God is bearing fruit

       and dividing seas

far beyond what we can know.

Even today.

Even through this.

There are no small obediences.)

O LORD,

We work, we follow You,

and You bring the victory

          through it.

Help us to respond to You

in all that we do

and know that it all matters.

You send divine appointments

        we do not recognize.

You send us into the unlikely

   and the unexpected

to bring Your name there.

Even in the valley of deep darkness,

      You are with us.

Help us to be faithful

  even in what is

  far beyond our skill set

and way beyond our comprehension.

"Why did you ever send me?"

         For Your glory.

And that is more than enough.
