"And Joshua said… How long are ye slack to go to possess the land, which the LORD God of your fathers hath given you?" (Joshua 18:3). "He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him" (Psalm 126:6). "A faithful man who can find?" (Proverbs 20:6). "Jesus said unto him… Go thou and preach the kingdom of God… No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God" (Luke 9:60,62).
The Lord gave
Israel His command
(It wasn't
merely a suggestion)
To go and to
subdue the land
That He had given
for possession.
The Lord has
likewise said to us
To go into the
world and preach
His Gospel that
is glorious
To every nation we
may reach.
The eyes of God
run to and fro
That He may find
a faithful man
Who is not slack
to rise and go
To manifest His
saving plan.
How greatly,
Lord, You are equipping
Your people with
Your Word proclaimed!
Revive us, lest
You find us slipping
In slackness,
making us ashamed.
