You shall march around the city,
all the men of war
going around the city once.
Thus shall you do
                for six days...

                Joshua 6. 3

(That is what faithfulness does:
following and
         responding to the LORD
even in what seems to make
                no sense at all,
willing to be ridiculous
    for His deeper purposes.
Do we trust God in this?
My friend the other day said,
    "God really did know
                what He was doing."
Imagine that.)

O LORD,
Help us to follow You,
help us to trust You,
help us to thank You
            even for this,
            even in this.
You are with us.
You are guiding us.
We don't have to understand
     for Your purposes to be fulfilled.
Help us to be faithful
  wherever You place us today.
