...and wrote on it an inscription

like the engraving of a signet,

"Holy to the LORD."

               Exodus 39. 30

(What if we had the mindset,

the heart, and willingness

not just to acknowledge

      our work as worship,

but to engrave

         His name on it,

carving permanently into it

    to Whom it belongs?

Whatever we do,

     Holy to the LORD,

  means nothing too small

  and everything sacred.

The usefulness of

    most complicated things

comes down to

   the smallest faithfulness.

But the practical is not

     all that is profound.

Beauty is found in

   the faintest rhythms,

His holiness covering

    everything we do.)

O LORD,

Help us to realize that

    our work is just

one of the ways we worship.

May everything we do

    not just matter,

but bring You glory.

Write Your name all over it,

   because it is Yours.

May our efforts and intentions

   stretch Your goodness

   over all the earth.

Remind us,

  even in all we do today.
