Finding the Holy

It is amongst the pots and rags that I must find Him.

I must seek Him among the pans and plates.

How do you find the Holy amongst the common?

Is it in the bend as I sweep?

Can I find Him in faces, blank, despite my smiles?

The Word speaks:”If you seek Him, He will be found by you.” 2 Chronicles 15:2

I long for the mundane to become sacred.

I whisper prayers for those blank faces.

I worship as I wipe.

I bend the will as I bend the waist.

I find Him in the reluctant smile.

He simmers in my heart as I stir the pot.

With each spoonful I serve, I choose to serve Him.

It is in my seeking, that the mundane becomes sacred.

I find the Holy One shining in the scrubbed clean.

Soon, the whole kitchen is filled with His glory.

I gratefully sing praise.
