Daily Diligence


"Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth... My son, be wise, and make My heart glad... Be thou diligent" (Proverbs 27:11,23).  "Seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God... Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him" (Colossians 3:1,17).

There is a boast that leads to sorrow
Because it blurs reality. 
The things we put off till tomorrow
May be too late eternally. 

We are instructed to be wise;
We only have a little while.
To Christ we daily lift our eyes
And live to see our Father's smile.

The rule that guides what we proclaim  
And what we do throughout the day
Is that we're called to praise the name
Of Christ in all we do and say. 

We thank You, Lord, for confidence
You grant in things we say and do
When we give daily diligence
To living gratefully for You.
