But the God of my father

         has been with me.

         Genesis 31. 5

(A chronicle of God's faithfulness

extends far in the past

    and way beyond in what is next.

Acknowledge not just His hand,

               what we can see,

    but recognizing His Presence

       even in what we cannot yet.

"Trust Me

               even in this."

Just because it is difficult

   does not mean

   it is not point-blank in His purposes.

God is at work

    and we are to be faithful,

nothing but nothing too small.)

O LORD,

Help us to listen, respond

   and to be faithful to You

                in all things.     

And above all,

     to bring You glory

and bear witness

         in this broken world.

Thank You

   that You are with us.

May we live that way

       covered by Your Presence.
