...all who did work
   in every kind of service...

            2 Chronicles 34. 13

(In all we do,
how we work,
what we pursue,
there is no secular/sacred divide.
In Hebrew, the word avodah
      means simultaneously
      work, worship and service.
All we do is sacred to God.
We are all appointed to serve God
    in whatever He places before us.
There is no act of work or service
         where His glory does not dwell.
Nothing below our dignity,
      nothing above our pay grade.
How can we approach our work
                     differently
    as a means of worship
             and service to the King?)

O LORD,
Help us to see our work
    with different eyes
    and a willing heart
that You would bring
       Your glory to it,
even in what we do not see
               or ever realize.
May we follow You
        in faithfulness,
knowing You do not add,
    but multiply
    Your fruitfulness in it
and through it
in the lives of all those around us.
