From there they set out

        and camped...

            Numbers 21. 12

(Are we ready to follow God

              like that?

Whether staying where we are,

or packing up

           with willing hearts

    (but we love it here!)

and doing something different

     in a new place or ministry,

or even in the familiar,

                  a fresh heart here.

An act of faithfulness

        is loving God more,

  and responding to His voice.

Even when we don't understand,

even when we can't see

                   the outcome,

God plants.

God multiplies.

God redeems.

God fulfills our lives.)

O LORD,

Help us to stake our tents

        and our lives on You.

No matter where You guide,

    be magnified through us,

even in what appears

        as only a wilderness,

    struggle, turmoil or storm,

even in this tiny patch

               of Your kingdom.

You are the God who fulfills

    far beyond our lifetimes.
