Yet the men

were very good to us,

and we suffered no harm...

They were like a wall to us

both by night and by day,

all the while we were with them

       keeping the sheep.

            1 Samuel 25. 15-16

(Others are always watching

to see if our God

    makes us any different.

Unexpected grace

     and deliberate love

--the marks of a believer--

are a strong witness

   as to Who dwells in us.

All we do

      points others to Him.)

O LORD,

May the works we do

and the works

      You do in us

point others continually

            toward You.

Please make us aware

    to bring

    the name of Jesus here.

There are no mundane tasks

        in Your economy,

    nothing insignificant,

only that which

    You can profoundly use

for Your purposes,

for Your kingdom,

for Your glory.

           Even in this.
