.....because in him
there was found something
pleasing to God.
1 Kings 14.15
I have an ancestor
named Abijah.
I thought it was an odd name,
until I came to this passage.
What a promise and blessing
bestowed by that name.
What do we choose today
that is pleasing to God?
Not to gain His favor
but out of our love for God,
faithful to Him
in our words, acts,
and in what we are occupied.
May we be known
by that kind of faithfulness.
O LORD,
In these circumstances today,
we do not seek blessing
for ourselves,
but to bless You in it.
Show us Your way through.
May You find us faithful
and grateful
wherever we are,
among whomever we encounter,
and in whatever we do.
Order our days.
Order our ways.
May our lives be distinguished
by pleasing You.
It is our delight.
