Whether it was two days,

or a month,

or a longer time,

that the cloud continued

      over the tabernacle,

abiding there...

but when it lifted

           they set out.

              Numbers 9. 22

(Abiding with Him

     where He has placed us,

and willing to follow Him

      at a moment's notice

into His incredibly strategic

               purposes,

even where and when

    it makes no sense to us.

Whether staying or going,

random

    does not appear

    in God's dictionary.)

O LORD,

please fulfill this day

Your purposes in us

        and through us

in Your name,

for Your glory.

Even in what

    we will never understand

    until the other side of life,

help us

   to be faithful in following You.
