But for this purpose

I have raised you up,

to show you My power,

so that My name

may be proclaimed

      in all the earth.

             Exodus 9. 16

(Even today.

Even in this.

God has positioned

     each one of us

              strategically

for His profound purposes.

Nothing

    is a random occurrence,

    but all divine appointments

                  for His glory.

Bring the name of Jesus there.

Let His power in our lives

           be revealed.)

O LORD,

Help us to seek You,

help us to see You,

Your extraordinary hand

        even in what we consider

        as ordinary.

Nothing is insignificant

      in Your measure of things.

Please make us aware

           of Your Presence

and make us sensitive

  to Your divine encounters

  all around us today,

to declare to others

          in word and deed

          and even attitude,

not just that You exist,

but You are LORD.

How can we in some way today

    point others to You,

bring You glory,

and bless Your name?
