For He will complete
what He appoints for me,
and many such things
are in His mind.
Job 23. 14
We are just in the middle
of the story God has written
in our lives.
It is not that things just happen,
or it will all turn out
or fit together,
but God completes
what He appoints.
God is already completing
His work in us
in ways we cannot comprehend.
What we deem unimportant
may be the most significant of all.
We have but to be faithful
as God fulfills His eternal purposes,
unfolds His glory,
and reveals
what only He can do.
O LORD,
We cannot know what is ahead,
but we can follow You into it.
Grant to us Your wisdom
and courage today
in these divine appointments,
sacred encounters,
and even the familiar.
When we are faithful
in the ordinary,
You strengthen us for the eternal.
You anoint and You appoint.
