If you walk in My statutes

and observe My commandments

              and do them....

        

                    Leviticus 26. 3

(Our lives will be

          very different,

fruitful in drought,

secure even in the face

          of all alarms,

fulfilled in spite

         of circumstances

         to the contrary,

no matter what

   life throws at us.

Walk with Him,

aware of His Word,

       and live it out.

God redeems.

Our lives are not our own

but impact the world

in the most profound ways

that may never be recognized.

There are no small obediences

      nor insignificant people.

Love God.  Love people.

   Every which way we can.

Even now.  Even in this.

Fruitful and multiplied.)

O LORD,

Walk with us

as we choose to follow You

        into this day

and into Your appointments.

Anoint us with Your grace

and strength

and courage,

       no matter the shadows,

  no matter our skills

        or degree of difficulty.

Help us to be mindful of You,

knowing our momentary choices

       impact the trajectory

                  of our lives.

And we get to

   walk with You.
