I am one of those

who are peaceable

    and faithful in Israel.

            2 Samuel 20. 19

(The faithful to the LORD

are those live far below the radar,

      never in the limelight,

      way beyond the headlines,

every day seeking the LORD,

and His purposes,

   profoundly significant,

   strategically placed.

Bring the name of Jesus there.

Even in this.)

O LORD,

You work beyond the measure

               of our lives,

way on the other side of

       even what we can imagine,

deeper than we can know.

Help us to be faithful to You

     and peaceable in every

     divine encounter

          and appointment,

among strangers

  and even more among those

                      we know.

Please let others see

            Your love in us.

Align our hearts with Yours,

                      O LORD.
