Do as Directed

"And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do. And the famine was over all the face of the earth" (Genesis 41:55). "His mother [Mary] saith unto the servants, Whatsoever He saith unto you, do" (John 2:5).

In the days wherein Joseph was on Egypt's throne,
And famine had covered the face of the earth,
God then provided through Joseph alone
The storehouses filled with his corn in that dearth.

The people were famished, and all of them knew
They surely would die if they had no bread.
They all were directed to heed and to do
Whatever it was that Joseph had said.

So how much the more in this famine today,
Not famine of bread, but of finding what's true,
Should we likewise heed what we hear our Lord say;
As Mary advised: What He says to you, DO!
