Strategically Appointed

 

So you will be

    a sign to them,

and they will know

    that I am the LORD.

           Ezekiel 24. 27

(Even when we are not looking,

           they are.

Others watch us carefully,

    maybe even desperately,

to know not that we are perfect

           or will mess up royally,

     but to know that God is real.

No matter where we are,

   God has strategically placed

              each one of us

   to be a witness for Him,

to be a light in the darkness,

to bring the name of Jesus there

   in word, deed, and attitude,

that others may know

    life can be very different.

And to comprehend 

             not just that God exists,

   but He loves us,

   and we can know Him.)

O LORD,

Please help us to be

    aware of our surroundings,

sensitive to the people

           all around us,

   and responsive to Your nudges.

May we realize that

   You have appointed us

   to point others to You,

even in the most unanticipated ways.

Align our hearts with Yours.

Order our affections.

Anoint this day with Your glory,

  even in ways we may not see.
