Psalm 127: Legacies

A song for coming into the presence of the Divine; concerning enduring legacies.

Unless I come alongside the Divine, joining in the Divine’s activity, all my work will be in vain. For it is only Divine work that endures the tests of time and circumstance. And no work of my own will endure without saturation by Divinity.

But what will my legacy be without a heritage of flesh and blood? What am I building as a woman and not a man?

May I have eyes to see Divine work, creating unique life where it did not exist before. May I join in this work however it occurs, trusting that fulfilment will come when and where I least expect it.
