...for all the work

     of the LORD...

   1 Chronicles 26. 30

(No work is insignificant

         in His sight,

nothing too small

               or great,

nothing beyond His power

    to use in mighty ways,

even in this.

Do we see this task

            as our work,

    our achievement,

    our glory,

              or as His?

Are we sensitive

    to the needs around us

and see this situation

            differently

as what God can use

and what He is doing

           through us?

God brings dignity

       to all work.

All is sacred in His eyes.)

O LORD,

Something is very different

when we walk with You

through our circumstances.

When we walk with You,

it changes what we do,

why we do it,

how we respond,

because You

       change our hearts

from the temporal

    to the eternal.

When we don't just

     "work for the LORD,"

but work with You,

we see it differently.

What is done in Your name

              never returns void,

even if no one ever notices,

even if we never

           see the outcome.

No task too small,

             too "secular,"

             too obscure,

             too mundane

that You cannot use

       for Your Kingdom

or for Your glory.

Huge corporate

      developments,

a kind action,

a personal sacrifice,

listening to a spouse,

mopping the floor,

playing with a child.

Even this.
