And Carries Us Through

 

But for this purpose

I have raised you up,

to show you My power,

so that

My name may be proclaimed

      in all the earth.

             Exodus 9. 16

(We are all strategically placed,

intentionally positioned

    in time and place,

divinely appointed

     for sacred encounters,

    holy connections,

       and even awkward moments,

     both small and great.

Critically significant actions

   sometimes look 

either insignificant

           or overwhelming.

But this is not a mistake or accident,

    nor a random assignment,

but a profound opportunity

  for His Kingdom, glory

             and unexpected grace.

Faithfulness to God gets us there.

     And carries us through.)

O LORD,

Help us to follow You

   into Your purposes,

both visible and invisible.

Guide us in ways

   that Your name

   may be glorified,

in familiar errands,

    ordinary tasks,

or even outrageous details.

Your purposes

     are never singular,

never forgotten,

     always eternal,

far more than we can know.

Even in this,

   help us to be faithful to You.
