...that in everything

He might be preeminent.

            Colossians 1. 18

(Not a patch,

not a part,

not some stuff,

not even prominent,

but preeminent,

standing out,

visible,

towering above,

seamlessly woven,

to have first place

     in everything,

the first thing we realize

and others are aware

          about us.

Preeminent means

    not missing out

on God's unlikely ways

and unexpected fruit,

undeniably from Him.

Nothing but nothing

           is ordinary.

Nothing but nothing

  that He is not redeeming.)

O LORD,

Help us to see things not from

   the ordinary

   or expected

   or complacent,

but from the supernatural

and eternal.

You are working powerfully

in our lives,

even when we are least aware.

When we look, trust, turn

    and abide in You,

we don't miss out

     on knowing You,

on seeing Your wonders

  in impossible situations

  and in our lives.

Guide our thoughts

          and our steps.

Align our hearts

              with Yours.
