For I know that

      my Redeemer lives,

and at the last

He will stand upon the earth.

 

                 Job 19. 25

 

(Knowing the LORD,

    not just believing

       that He is there somewhere.

Knowing Him changes the direction

                of our lives,

because God changes our hearts

and how we live,

       no matter the circumstances,

even in the most unlikely places

      and among unexpected people.

God uses our

      story of deliverance

    to bring hope to those around us.)

 

O LORD,

We are blessed by You,

    appointed by You

    to seamlessly live out the gospel

even in what we consider

              an ordinary day,

and even in the really scary stuff.

My Redeemer lives.

That should look very different

            in what we do and say.

Help us to be aware and ready

   for the multitude of doors

   daily all around us

              for the gospel

         and for Your glory.

There are no random encounters.

Help us to respond

       with grace and the gospel.
