Written All Over

 

And on that day

there shall be inscribed

on the bells of the horses,

     "Holy to the LORD."

And the pots in the

house of the LORD

shall be as bowls

         before the altar.

         Zechariah 14. 20

(Before the LORD,

        all things --

our actions, words, attitudes,

         even our stuff--

   are scared.

Not to worship but the means

         to worship Him.

Nothing is ordinary

  nor insignificant in His sight.

May we inscribe on this day

       "Holy is the LORD."

And see the time we are given,

these places we inhabit

        or move within,

our experiences

        as holy to Him.

Even this ordinary

    or really difficult day

is an opportunity to worship Him,

by what we do with what

            we have been given,

among whom we move about,

and with what

    we grasp in our hands,

as the saints of old

               are depicted.)

O LORD,

This is yet another day

    that You have made.

May You be glorified in it.

Write Your name

            all over every minute.

Please help us today

   to be a witness to You

by what we do

    and how we respond

and to Whom we worship.

Help us to be known

            as Yours.

Same circumstances,

    fresh new choices.

Please order our affections.

Anoint this day

           with Your Presence.

And appoint our steps.
