Call To Worship: God of Genius (Prov. 25:2)
It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. - Proverbs 25:2
Our God, you are the genius in the room. You did not wake up this morning, surprised, and say, "I wish I'd thought of that." You are not stumped. You, whose words sparked the galaxies, orbited electrons around a nucleus, bloomed fields of flowers and animated every human heart, are full of ideas.
Our God, you lead us in a life of discovery as you beckon us from the other side of today, saying, "Come and see! Come and see! Isn't this amazing?" You know the end from the beginning, you know the answer before the question, you know the solution before the problem, you know the house before the plans or foundation, you know the feast before the grape is planted and the grain is sown and you know us.
Our God, yes, you know us. Fragile as we are, we cannot know it all, yet you grant us the portion that we need at the right time-for hope and not despair. We search you out and we find that you are good, and you are strong, and you care.
Amen.
Alternate ending:
Lord forgive us when we get consumed by the things of this world that fight for our love and our passion. As our eyes are open wide and on you, grant us the privilege of your world view, and may your kingdom be what wakes us up and lays us down.[1]
