"Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth... My son, be wise, and make My heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth Me... Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds" (Proverbs 27:1,11,23).
Yesterday is gone forever;
Its time we cannot borrow.
Let's focus on today's endeavor,
And pray about tomorrow.
The day for diligence is now;
Our goal, to please the Lord.
The strength we need He will endow;
Our diligence reward.
Be diligent to know the state
Of those you lift in prayer.
God esteems their value great,
Who put them in your care.
God has placed within the sphere
Of our responsibility
The flocks we care for now and here,
In light of their eternity.
So with a view to our Lord's pleasure
In whom His love is poured,
Regarding these as priceless treasure,
We tend them for our Lord.
