Way Beyond Our Own Reach

 

...and offered it on the rock

      to the LORD,

to the One

   who works wonders...

            Judges 13. 19

(Wonders in the ancient Hebrew

means that which is hard,

hidden, too high, and

way beyond our own reach.

And that is what the Almighty

    specializes in.

The Holy Spirit hovers over

whatever we encounter,

whatever we offer to Him,

whatever we have to give,

and He does something

   we could not do

   on our own.

God reveals Himself

in the familiar and ordinary,

the unexpected, extraordinary

        and even strange to us,

no degree of separation,

but with His name and glory

   written all over it.

Wonders abide even in what

    we don't understand

or could ever hope for.)

O LORD,

Thank You for Your wonders

past, present and future,

   all woven together.

Thank You for working

   what is way beyond us.

We offer what we do to You,

   knowing You complete it.

You bring the fruit to it.

You cover it with Your glory.

You work wonderfully--

      full of wonder.

Help us to trust You in it.
