An Extraordinary Inscription

And on that day
there shall be inscribed
on the bells of the horses,
   "Holy to the LORD."
And the pots 
in the house of the LORD
shall be as bowls
             before the altar.

          Zechariah 14. 20

May whatever we do
be inscribed 
by His sacred imprint,
nothing insignificant, 
nothing without beauty
  or divine purpose,
whether the collar of a horse
    or pots in the kitchen.
Worship reverberates,
altering what we do,
what we choose,
how we do it,
what we wear, and
how we serve God and others.
May we write His holy name
     all over it.
Nothing too big,
       no detail too small.
May we see it all
   as Holy to the Lord.

O LORD,
May Your holiness resound
  and reverberate
through how we serve You.
Divine appointments.
Sacred Encounters.
Holy Endeavors.
Even the familiar and ordinary
    is precious in Your sight.
Ordinary does not appear
       in Your dictionary.
Help us to see
    whatever we do
 can bring You glory.
Even today.
Even in this.
