...knowing that I am put here

       for the defense of the gospel.

                   Philippians 1. 16

(Whether in favorable circumstances

        or in the hard stuff of life,

God has strategically placed us

           in time and place

to bring the name of Jesus here.

We are all on special assignment.

Knowing that

               changes everything.

This situation is not random,

   but a divine encounter

   in God's grace and for His Kingdom.

Where God has placed us today

          --even in the unexpected

          and the most unlikely--

is not without eternal purposes,

               but for the salvation of others

       and for His glory.)

O LORD,

Make our hearts and eyes

         sensitive to Your leading

to divine appointments

    and sacred encounters,

in the most familiar

           and the most unexpected,

that we would bring

              Your name there

   and You would bring Your glory.

Others are watching continually

    to see how we respond differently

             because we love You.
