Wonders of the World

 

So Manoah took the young goat

      with the grain offering

and offered it on the rock

               to the LORD,

the one who works wonders.

              Judges 13. 19

(May we lay this work,

this day and all that is in it,

this relationship,

this hardship or joy

          before the LORD,

putting it fully in His hands

          on the altar,

and watch

   what He does with it.

Sometimes God reveals

      an immediate path,

sometimes what is

      totally unexpected

                 or unlikely,

sometimes a long time

         in coming.

But God always works wonders

far beyond our comprehension,

   way deeper than we can see.

God does not just add.

          God multiplies.)

 O LORD,

You are the God

  of the wonders of the world.

And we are surrounded

    every day by Your

    magnificent work.

Help us to give back to You

      and offer to You

what You have given us.

Be blessed, O LORD,

by what we lay on the altar.

And that would be our hearts.

Work Your wonders in us

     and through us today.

Show us how to

       be a blessing

   in this broken world

and even in what we face.

Grant to us a new heart

   and new vision,

   even in the hard stuff.
