The words of Amos,

who was among

       the shepherds...

        Amos 1. 1

(God uses the

     unlikeliest people

in impossible situations

in unexpected ways

for His divine purposes.

"Who, me?"

In what

     is God using me?

Am I willing to

            follow Him in this?

God multiplies obedience

   in ways

   beyond our comprehension.

There are no small obediences.)

O LORD,

Please place feet

and words

and deeds

to our love for You.

Help us to bring Your name,

to bear Your name,

to be responsive to You,

   right where we are.

Even here.

Even in this.

Let Your glory

       get all over this.

Help me to be faithful to You

     in the now,

     not just in the next.
