And he will show you
         a large upper room,
         furnished;
prepare it there.

                 Luke 22. 9

(When we are faithful to God,
responsive to His nudges,
and dedicate whatever we do
    for His purposes and glory,
we cannot conceive or imagine
    what God redeems through it.
Even getting a room ready
           for an unexpected party,
scrubbing the bathrooms,
      or welcoming stranger or friend
                          on the front porch,
are never mundane tasks,
but embedded in God's fundamental law
          not just of hospitality,
                        but the gospel.
Even in unexpected ways
               and unlikely places.)

O LORD,
Help us to keep our eyes on You
   in the times of abundance
   and in the wilderness
      where You display Your wonders
               on even what first appears
                    as an ordinary day.
May we come before
        Your throne of mercy
        even in our everyday work,
that we may find the grace
   to help in time of need.
Help us to realize
     what we encounter
     and what You appoint
is not an interruption
             but about the gospel.
It always is.
     Lives redeemed.
