Therefore, my beloved

      brothers and sisters,

be steadfast,

immovable,

always abounding

     in the work of the Lord,

knowing that in the Lord,

your labor is not in vain.

         1 Corinthians 15. 58

(Not just believing

but knowing

God is using us mightily

for His Kingdom

     and for His glory,

even in what we do not

       see or realize.

We have only

        to be faithful to Him.

God brings

    His fruitfulness to it,

more than we can know.

Even today,

even in this.

Every experience,

every situation,

even every difficulty

  is radically different

because we follow Him.

What would I do differently

   if I knew it was

         not in vain,

   but eternally appointed?)

O LORD,

Guide us in our choices today.

Provide for us

      what we really need

not just for the task,

   but to know You more.

Anoint our time and

   appoint Your glory to it.

Assign Your purposes to it

   and realign our hearts to You.

Go before us, O LORD,

go with us

that we may see Your wonders

   as You bring Your glory

   before us into this day.
