Out of the Ordinary

 

And God was doing

extraordinary miracles

by the hands of Paul.

            Acts 19. 11

(God works

far beyond what we can know,

or imagine,

or maybe even ever see.

   And we can trust God

that He is doing extraordinary things

                 through us.

 Present tense,

using our hands and our hearts

  to accomplish His wonders

  through our ordinary endeavors.

We have just to be faithful

        on this sacred ground.)

O LORD,

Please make us sensitive

      to Your leading and purposes,

even in what we consider

           only as ordinary.

Enlarge our vision

  to know that You are at work.

You are always at work

   through every good endeavor.

May we bless You this day.

And may You bless others

   all around through us,

dripping with astonishing deeds,

    done only by Your mighty hand,

whether recognized as 

        a miracle straight from You

       or out of our love for You

There is no insignificant faithfulness.
