And Asa did

what was right in

the eyes of the LORD.

       1 Kings 15. 11

(There are

no little decisions

or insignificant actions.

All we do

and say

and pray,

how we love God

        and others,

whether we trust God,

if we are faithful

                 in this,

profoundly changes

not just us

or those around us,

but to the

      furthest generation.

There are

no small obediences.

"Trust Me in this,"

means exactly that.

Listening

and responding to God

changes our actions

by changing our hearts.

How do I approach

     this differently

because I am a believer,

because I love the LORD?)

O LORD,

You have placed us

strategically in time

and place

and circumstances,

divine appointments

     and encounters

to bring Your name here

and bring You glory.

Help us to do

what is good and right

and loving

in this situation,

knowing You are

         using us

and our practices

even in ways

    we cannot yet see.
