The Deeps Break Open

 

When the LORD restores...

        Psalm 14. 7

(Hope is knowing

what we are going through

is not the end of the story.

We are only in the

  middle of a chapter and

     middle of His redeeming.

Redeeming is woven

          all the way through

   with strong thread

   and imperceptible stitches.

God's restoring

  does not just provide

depreciated replacement value.

Because God multiplies

  in ways we can never imagine

for our hearts

and for the souls around us.

The deeps break open

         --Proverbs 3. 20)  

O LORD,

May we be faithful to You

even through the chaos,

     fallow fields,

      and rocky roads.

You are working deeply,

   and You are redeeming

far beyond our understanding

    or what we can see.

Reveal to us

   not just what to do

but that we would

   be evidence of Your work,

Your hand,

and Your witness and redeeming

  in this situation.

Above all,

to be faithful to You today.
