O LORD,

in the morning 

You hear my voice;

in the morning 

I prepare a sacrifice to You,

        and watch.

                Psalm 5. 3

(Not "lay my day before Him,"

but pray, listen and watch

as God lays out His day for me,

His way in this,

His say in this,

His slender scarlet thread

   through impossible places.

If I am only praying for an answer,

    I am missing out on Him.

"In the morning"

    captures the day).

A man's gift

makes room for him

and brings him

   before great men.

           Proverbs 18. 16

(We can never comprehend 

   nor determine 

   nor limit

how God is using us,

and for what or whom

   He has equipped us.

Just what He has placed

  in front of me today

       to follow Him into.

For His Kingdom.

For His glory.

And sometimes 

  that will surprise you.

"God makes room

for His gifts

     to be used."

   -- Chuck Swindoll

Deliverance 

belongs to the LORD.

             Psalm 3. 8

(Worry has 

never opened a door,

   nor parted a sea.

Follow God through this.

What is Your way in this,

              O LORD Almighty?

God will probably 

            surprise you).

The following night

the Lord stood by him

and said,

"Take courage,

for as you have 

    testified about Me

    in Jerusalem,

so you must bear witness 

also in Rome.

                 Acts 23. 11

(God has strategically 

            placed you

   to bring His name there,

more perfectly and precisely

      than you can know.

Hearts around you

        are already prepared.

Jesus is standing 

   right there with you.

Say something.)

...for you will be

a witness for Him

to all men

of what you have seen

        and heard.

   

               Acts 22. 15

(God's redeeming is translated

  into what others see and hear,

by the stories

     God has given you,

by the changed life

              they see.

Every opportunity,

     bring His grace 

     to impossible places).

After greeting them,

he related 

      one by one

the things that

  God had done....

            Acts 21.19

(What stories of redeeming 

    has God woven into your life?

These tales were not designed 

  to be kept to yourself.

Speak boldly

and point others to Him).

But if you say to me,

   "We rely 

    on the LORD our God"....

                 2 Kings 18. 22

(That is when

    things really begin to change.

And it starts in my heart.

God specializes 

    in impossible situations.

Rely on Him

           through this).
