His master saw that

   the LORD was with him

and that the LORD caused

   all that he did to succeed

               in his hands.

               Genesis 39. 3

(Do we see what we do differently

      because we walk with the LORD?

Do others see the LORD

                   in what we do

and how we choose to do it?

Even in what is really difficult,

even in what appears as failure

     or turns out unexpectedly,

God redeems for greater good.

God multiplies through us.

We may be part of the equation,

   but God brings the outcomes,

that are never singular

and mostly beyond our vision.

Joseph had no idea

             what God was up to.

But he was faithful all the same.)

O LORD,

You have strategically placed us

        on this sacred ground

that we do not fully understand.

But we can be faithful to You

   in Your innumerable purposes

   and deep within Your will.

Use us this day,

                   and in this way,

    for Your glory.
