Not Lost In Translation

 

For those who honor Me,

I will honor.

            1 Samuel 2. 30

(This is not a conditional

if/then statement,

       but a lingering promise.

When we honor God,

   something always happens.

As we go into this day,

whether in achievement or defeat,

whether blue skies or storms,

may we carry His name here,

invite the weighty imprint

    of His Presence,

pursue His honor

and not our own arrogance.

Selfless acts and

    God-honoring choices

speak a foreign language

       in our society,

but His glory

     is not lost in translation.)

O LORD,

May we honor You

in whatever we do today.

Please reveal to us

  what that looks like

         in real time.

Refresh our hearts

   that we would join You

in the outworkings

  and redeeming

         of our circumstances.

Help us to know how to respond

   with Your steadfast love.

And write Your holy Name

   all over this situation.
