Commit your work to the LORD,

and your plans

            will be established.

                 Proverbs 16. 3

(In the ancient Hebrew,

the word "commit" means

to roll, roll away, roll down.

            roll together.

Roll whatever it takes

  to roll our work

to the LORD for His purposes,

   His plans and glory,

         all rolled together.

Work is not just

      our designated job,

but whatever we do,

pursue,

undertake,

not just always ending in

             obvious achievement,

 but how we daily worship Him.

God ripens the fruit.

God brings His glory to it.)

O LORD,

We rarely know the work

that You have placed before us,

nor the significance of

        small rocks or big boulders.

Help us to be faithful to You

  in whatever we do today,

to not just be mindful of You,

  but responsive to You.

May our work this week,

  every divine appointment

    and unexpected encounter,

the daily-ness,

   and even what we see as

                 an interruption,

  be seamless,

  rolled together,

  and committed fully to You.

Your glory is established,

  the extraordinary

          in ordinary packages

     we do not always recognize.
