To Do List

 

In the morning

        sow your seed,

and at evening

  withhold not your hand,

for you do not know

  which will prosper,

this or that,

or whether both alike

      will be good.

         Ecclesiastes 11.6

(We can never know

what kind of seed 

God has placed in our hands,

  bearing a crop that sustains

            for a season,

   or a forest of sequoias

        for a thousand years.

But there is

          no insignificant work,

only what God brings

   and bears through faithfulness.

We sow what we have.

God grows what we cannot

           comprehend.

What has God given us

    to do today?

Not just a to do list,

   but to be.

We do not know

             what will prosper,

 but God sees

   beyond the bigger picture,

   to our hearts.

We are responding to God.

No greater work

              than that.)

O LORD,

Help us to realize

that our work is a form

     of worship to You.

We may not see the fruit

      or the forest,

but You fulfill Your purposes

   for Your glory

   and Kingdom

through every act of faithfulness.

This morning,

   empower us to sow this seed.

And take great joy

         in Your Presence with us.
