Then Agrippa said to Festus,

"I would like to hear

         the man myself."

                Acts 25. 22

(Live in such a way

that others are compelled

to know why,

inconceivable

         if not for God.

Others are always watching

to see if God is real

and that He truly

  makes a difference

               in one's life.

We would be astonished

to know those who are

not curious about ourselves,

    but desperate for God.)

O LORD,

Lead us in Your way

     in this day before us

through the minefields,

distractions,

ambushes,

potholes,

fears and our foes,

       both real and imagined,

for Your glory, even in this.

Help us to realize

that the point is

     to point others to You.

The path we choose,

    the way we walk with You,

    how we respond

       --even in our attitudes--

does not just impact our lives

    but all those around us.

Help us to be aware

     of unexpected pockets

                  to share You.
