Run for Your Lives!

 

Then open the door

             and flee.

Do not linger.

            2 Kings 9. 3

(Sometimes God says go.

Sometimes He says

   stay right where we are.

Sometimes to flee for our lives.

May we learn to respond to God

   when the stakes seem low

   and when our choices

         don't seem to matter.

Because then we know

  how to obey

  when it does matter.

And most often,

we don't know the difference.

Obedience even in

     the smallest details

reverberates for generations.

What only looks like

a tiny response may save our lives

      or someone else.

There are no small obediences.)

O LORD,

Sharpen our hearing

      to Your voice,

guide our eyes,

shape our thoughts

as we move in this day,

  that we would

  follow You into it.

Direct our thoughts

and strengthen our response

     to Your leading.

Align our hearts to Yours.

Help us to know

   that it all matters.
