Writing His Name All Over It

 

And now,

               go,

write it before them

on a tablet

and inscribe it in a book,

that it may be

for the time to come

    as a witness forever.

              Isaiah 30. 8

God has given each of us

an ongoing chronicle 

        of His faithfulness,

His wonders 

     in unexpected places,

surprises around the bend,

ordinary days that are

     precious and fruitful,

and all around us

    His divine appointments,

    sacred encounters,

    and holy conversations.

We always think we will

              never forget.

But these experiences

       are not for us alone.

May we write them down

   not just as a remembrance

but as a witness

   for those on our path

and for generations to come.

O LORD,

Provide us the courage

   and the words

to let Your Presence be known.

May Your story be

          engraved in ours.

Empower us to write down 

      Your acts of goodness

      and faithfulness

      and grace

to share with others

   and never forget ourselves.

Help us to inscribe Your name

   at the top of our day.
