All We Do

 

Whatever your hand finds to do,
     do it with your might...

             Ecclesiastes 9. 10

(As my husband's grandmother
         said over and over,
"Whatever is worth doing
    is worth doing right."
Whatever is the key word here.
Because it is all significant
         in God's Kingdom.
God brings the fruit to it,
   a forest from a tiny seed.
Faithfulness is never
        overlooked or wasted.
His glory covers it all.
Even this little thing
   which is never little.)

O LORD,
We miss so much
  because we try to label
  what is significant.
Anything done for Your glory
     bears fruit
     beyond our lifetimes.
May our work today,
   no matter what it is,
lead us to trust You more.
Use it to reveal Yourself
  to everyone around us,
not just in what we do,
         but how we do it.
Establish Your joy
      in our hearts.
