Ready for Anything

 

Let the favor of the LORD our God

          be upon us,

and establish the work

   of our hands upon us;

yes,

  establish the work of our hands.

                Psalm 90. 17

(In the Hebrew, establish means

to set up, confirm and maintain.

God completes our work

    and gives it meaning.

His goodness causes it

             to endure,

perhaps beyond our vision

         or our lifetimes.

Every good endeavor matters

   more than we can know,

appointed and anointed

        by the Almighty

        for His Kingdom.

God pours His favor

  over our divine appointments

          and sacred encounters,

even work not recognized

                 or affirmed,

but prepared and ready for anything,

     any way God uses it.)

O LORD,

We lay our work before You

  even as we are doing it,

that You would be glorified

        by what we do

        and what You do with it.

We have but to be faithful

              to You.

And to know the joy

     of serving You

                   in all things.
