And Jehoshaphat said

           to the king of Israel,

"Inquire first

   for the word of the LORD."

                 1 Kings 22. 5

(What does God have to do

                  with this?

     Everything.

I don't want to miss out 

     on His way in this,

even in those things

    I will never comprehend.

God is not just 

     part of the outcome

        or a variable in the solution,

but God is the reality

   of the equation before me.

Inquiring first of the LORD

   avoids a lot of panic later.)
