Return evey man
    to his home,
for this thing
          is from Me.

  2 Chronicles 11. 4

(Obediences that make
     no sense to us
make total sense to God.
There are some obediences
that we cannot explain
         nor understand,
but we need just to trust
and follow God into them.
When God says go,
or He says no,
are based on far deeper purposes
than we can comprehend.
The greater success may be
   being faithful to Him.
Even in this.)

O LORD,
You live.
And in that reality,
   everything changes.
Even our hearts.
You are bringing us through
to a deeper intimacy with You,
strengthened in You,
not defeated by circumstances.
You are bringing to pass
    a whole new story
    that brings You glory.
Help us to rely on You,
respond to You,
and trust You
even in mystery.
You redeem
           all things,
even what is far beyond
       our limited vision.
