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.
