Seeing and Seizing the Space

 

But now the LORD my God
has given me rest on every side.
There is neither adversary
               nor misfortune.
And so I intend to build 
a house for the name 
  of the LORD my God.

             1 Kings 5. 4-5

If we are waiting for a clear schedule
   with no interruptions or excuses
to serve God, it's not gonna happen.
We may never have
a huge swath of availability,
but God gives us moments
  and tiny pockets of time.
He makes it possible
    to do something,
by helping us to see
    and seize the space
 right now,
        right where we are.
How do we intend to use
  that opportunity
              in serving God?
Bag packed, shoes tied on,
ready to go,
  working as we worship,
  worshiping in our work.

O LORD,
Give us new vision
for what is before us
to see as times of serving
and worshiping You.
May we have a new heart
  to not just see the need,
but follow You into it.
May we see our work
         differently,
knowing that nothing is insignificant
     in worshiping You
              in it
