...look with your eyes,

and hear with your ears,

and set your heart upon all

   that I shall show you,

for you were brought here

in order that I might

          show it to you.

           Ezekiel 40. 4

(There is never anything random at all

       in God's positioning system.

We are right here,

      not "for a reason,"

      but in His Presence

           and for His purposes.

God is not trying to

       "teach" us anything,

but to dwell with us,

       and deepen our relationship

                       with Him.

"Sit here with Me a while."

        Look, listen, respond.

He has strategically positioned us

         specifically to reveal

                    Himself to us

and to point others to Him.)

O LORD,

We do not just seek You

    for instructions,

        but we seek You.

Help us to trust You

    in where You have placed us

    to live and move

           and have our being.

Reveal Yourself to us

   on Your paths for us today.

Help us to look and listen

               expectantly.

Our situation may not be changed,

          but we are changed

          by Your Presence.
