Anointed and Appointed

 

For He will complete

what He appoints for me,

and many such things

    are in His mind.

             Job 23. 14

(Do we view our work

     or our circumstances

           as divine appointments

     and sacred encounters?

We can never fully know

   how God is using us

   for His Kingdom

             and His glory.

We have only to be faithful

   and to trust Him,

even when we don't understand.

What can God do with this?

   "Now watch this."

We are both anointed

             and appointed

     in unexpected ways

    and unlikely places.

Therein lies not just our work,

         but our witness.)

O LORD,

Help us to live in such a way

    that Your grace is revealed.

May we not just share

         Your story with others,

   but to live it out before them.

Grant us the courage

             and wisdom

  to respond to others

and point them to You.

You complete

              our efforts

  and bring them to fruition.

We delight in You, O LORD.
