...that they may declare

                   in Zion

the name of the LORD,

and in Jerusalem

              His praise.

             Psalm 102. 21

(Change they to we

and insert where we live.

God has

      strategically placed us

in time, place, among people,

and even in this situation

to bring His name there

and point others to Him.

His steadfast love,

His incredible mercies,

His great faithfulness

    are fresh every morning.

We are not just "nice people"

   but those who know

what His forgiveness

                can do.

May our hope in God

  be written all over us.)

O LORD,

Help us to grasp

     every opportunity

     to speak of You,

to point others

     to Your handiwork

not just in creation

    but in our lives.

May our words

          and our response

declare Your Presence

and praise Your Name.

You have both anointed

   and appointed us

               for this day,

to praise You in our actions

and words

and attitudes

   which may be

   the most obvious of all.
