Small things

The Desert Rat speaks....

“Four things are small on the earth, but they are exceedingly wise: The ants are not a strong people, but they prepare their food in the summer; the shephanim are not mighty people, yet they make their houses in the rocks; the locusts have no king, yet all of them go out in ranks; the lizard you may grasp with the hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces” (Proverbs 30:24-28).

Lord, give us wisdom (James 1:5; 3:17).
May we take every opportunity to be spiritually fed with the abundance of resources we have at our disposal while we still can.
May we make You, our Rock, our only Refuge.
May we stay unified in the purpose You have given us.
May Your people be found in every corner of this world, no matter how obscure or forbidding – or how bountiful and distracted.
All these things, Father, we ask, that Your name will be “holy, holy, holy” in all the earth.
All these things, Father, we ask, that Your Kingdom come.
All these things, Father, we ask, that Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
All things are Yours for Your glory alone.
Through Christ, Your wisdom (1 Corinthians 1:30; Colossians 2:1-3), we ask, Amen.
