...for this thing

       is from Me.

            1 Kings 12. 24

(How would we navigate

this situation or struggle

    or difficult relationship

                 differently

if we knew it was from God?

Random does not appear

       in God's dictionary.

Not a mistake,

not an accident,

not an interruption.

God is at work in us

     and through us.

God will not redeem.

God is already redeeming.

We just need to be faithful,

strong, courageous,

work with excellence,

     and listen to Him.

Am I worshiping God

                   in this?)

O LORD,

Help us to know that

we can move freely

in our circumstances

   and relationships,

bringing Your name here,

because You redeem,

You are with us,

You sustain us,

You are drawing us

       closer to You,

   even in this.

We stand on the edge of

            Your glory

and don't yet see

         Your wonder in it.
