Two Kitchen Sink Prayers

Sometimes I am more aware than others of my meetings with God just in the normal operations of my at-home responsibilities. It amazes me that He is as interested in my days and what I fill them with as He was when I worked outside my home. This always encourages me, as do these Scripture passages: Psalm 111; Proverbs 24:3-4; Proverbs 16:3. Make note and take note of those.

God is Sovereign

God is Sovereign
Of the universe
And of my kitchen sink--
Not just my future
But here, where I think,
Of the plans I make
And the tasks I do--
The small with the large
Are all the same to You,
And that brings me comfort
Along with responsibility,
Knowing You reign
Sovereign over all
Large and small
There and then
Here and now
The universe
My home.

God, Sovereign of the every-day,
Of the "small things,"
I meet You at the kitchen sink,
You give my days/prayers/heart/work/wings,
Guard and Guide
Who does reside
In everyplace and none,
By Your grace
With You I am one.

How Wonderful and Marvelous and Awesome

How wonderful and marvelous and awesome
To think that the same One
Who sovereignly oversees all creation
Gave for such as me His Son
And with that giving--breathless thought--
Dwells now with me day and night
Yet high and lifted up and worshiped in the highest heaven
Yet with me somehow here 24/7

Reigning over the vase expanses of universe and time
Yet He deigns to be mine--
Sovereign of all the little things
As well as all divine

It can't be fathomed,
No mortal mind can wrap around
Yet this is so I have found
And in this finding is comfort as well:
That the Sovereign One would with me deign to dwell
