And King Solomon sent

and brought

      Hiram from Tyre.

He was

   the son of a widow...

And he was

   full of wisdom,

   understanding,

and skill for making

   any work in bronze.

          1 Kings 7. 14

(God chooses

  the unlikely and obscure,

those who are faithful

in whatever work

God has appointed us

    to bring Him glory.

Not just getting

        the job done,

but doing it with

 beauty and excellence,

no matter if anyone

         even notices.

Am I sensitive to what

God has placed

    around me,

    before me,

         to serve Him?

Nothing is insignificant

     in God's economy,

no detail overlooked.

Right where we are,

in whatever we are doing,

    sacred to the LORD,

a place, time, opportunity

         to worship.

Even in this.)

O LORD,

We choose to follow You

into this day.

And to see not tasks

and duties and the mundane,

but as divine appointments

                 from You,

to bring You glory.

We will never know

  how profoundly

        You are using

what we do,

how we do it,

even our attitudes

  to point others to You

and for Your Kingdom,

far beyond

        our lifetimes.
