But Jehoshabeath,

the daughter of the king,

took Joash the son of Ahaziah

and stole him away

from among the king's sons

  who were about to be

  put to death,

and she put him and his nurse

              in a bedroom.

           2 Chronicles 22.11

(There are no secondary characters

          in God's story.

God knows our names.

    God appoints each of us

     for His purposes

                   and His glory.

A single act of courage

    in the face of the overwhelming

    changed the course of history.

Faithfulness even on ordinary days

       still does that in significant ways,

       beyond our vision

                    and our lifetimes.)

O LORD,

Help us to be faithful to You,

our shoes tied on,

      ready to run with You.

You have anointed and appointed

       each of us

       for Your glory on this very day.

May we realize what we do

        is all significant in Your eyes,

    no detail too small,

    nothing mundane.

You redeem.  You reign.

Help us to trust You in this

   and respond to Your nudges.
