And though your beginning

                was small,

your latter days

     will be very great.

               Job 8. 7

(Yes,

  what we do matters.

It matters a lot to God

    and His kingdom.

We have no idea

    what God is doing with this,

but it is not insignificant.

    We have only to be faithful.

Faithfulness always bears fruit

   that we will never see,

        far beyond our lifetimes.

We strive for His glory,

                   not ours,

     even in this task.

No act of obedience

                 lies fallow.

God says,

   "Now watch what I do

             with this.")

O LORD,

Help us to respond to You

  in what is before us today,

knowing that You work wonders

     deeply into what we

     only see as ordinary.

Bring Your glory to it.

Help us to know

       that You are in this.

You are all in all.
