Something Always Happens

 

And Hezekiah and

   all the people rejoiced

because God had

   prepared for the people,

for the thing came

         about suddenly.

          2 Corinthians 29. 36

(God goes before us

     to prepare our way.

He provides, He multiplies,

        He redeems,

    even the hard stuff.

And when we worship,

  something always happens.

We can go forth differently

       into the day.

God shakes things up.

Circumstances may change

                  or not,

   but we approach and

   navigate with a fresh heart.

God enlarges our vision.

God moves powerfully.

God makes visible

         the invisible.

Worship helps us see

    His amazing hand.

And we rejoice.)

O LORD,

Help us to follow You

           into this day.

Help us to worship You

     all the way through.

Make us sensitive

     to Your Presence

to see and respond

                to You,

not just what to do

    but who to be.

You bring about things

  suddenly and powerfully.

May we not miss a thing,

   nor be surprised.

Synchronize our thoughts

   and words and actions

                  with Yours.

Help us to direct this day,

    this dilemma,

    our fear and our hope

                         to You.

Strengthen us

      in our worship.
