Bless You!

And what if I did not ask the LORD today to bless me,

        but that I focused my day on blessing Him?

Not “look at what I can do for You”

but “how can I bless You, O LORD?”

Not just by words,

             or doings,

      but by my life.

     And quite suddenly,

           the day takes on a different agenda,

      a recalibration,

      a renewal,

      purposes deeper than I can see.

What has He put on my plate today,

who has He placed on my path,

in what situations am I knee-deep,

      that I can bless Him?

Loving God.

Loving others.

 

With what shall I come before the LORD,

and bow myself before God on high?

…He has showed you, O man,

what is good,

and what does the LORD require of you

but to do justice,

and to love kindness,

and to walk humbly with your God?

                        Micah 6. 6,8
