...and keep the charge

       of the LORD your God,

walking in His ways

and keeping His statutes,

His commandments,

His rules,

and His testimonies,

as it is written in the Law of Moses,

that you may prosper

           in all that you do

       and wherever you turn,

that the LORD

     may establish His word...

                   1 Kings 2. 3

(Prosper in our culture

   is a word that has been

   hijacked for personal greed.

Prosper in ancient Hebrew

   does not promise you will

   be rich and successful,

but that you may be wise

  in all that you do

  and wherever you turn.

In keeping charge, seeking God,

  walking with Him,

  paying attention,

our relationship with God

    changes the trajectory

                   of our lives

and influences the lives

   of everyone around us,

even far beyond our lifetimes.

There are

       no small obediences.)

O LORD,

Help us to pursue You

     in all that we do

     and wherever we turn,

          with great intention

     trusting You,

     following You,

     paying attention

       to our relationship with You.

Even what we consider as details

     matters far more

     than we will ever know.

May we be aware

   that You are

          confirming Your Word

                     in us

and revealing Yourself

      in lifechanging ways.
