Prepare your work outside,
get everything ready
for yourself in the field,
and after that
build your house.
Proverbs 24. 27
(One layer of preparation
is built upon the next.
It is not that God is not ready,
but we have lagged behind.
We are the ones not yet ready
for what is to come.
May we not get ahead of God,
but be faithful
in what is before us today.
Are we practicing the hard parts?
Are we training our affections?
Are we fulfilling
the little stuff
on which our trust in Him
is built?)
O LORD,
Please help us to prepare
for Your provision.
Build Your strength in us
as we are faithful to You,
even in what does not appear
to matter.
Because faithfulness always does.
Set our minds on You
that in whatever we do,
and wherever we are,
we are growing deeper in You
and writing Your holy name
all over everything.
