"The carpenters and builders that wrought upon the house of the LORD… dealt faithfully" (2 Kings 12:15,16). "Show forth His salvation from day to day" (Psalm 96:2). "He also that is slothful in his work is brother to him that is a great waster" (Proverbs 18:9). "Wherefore He saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:14-16).
The workmen who
were tasked to build
The house of God
in disrepair
Dealt faithfully
and so fulfilled
Their work with
diligence and care.
There is an
urgent work to do:
To preach the
Gospel while we may.
The time is
late, the workers few;
We dare not
waste a single day.
The Lord has
told us to awake
And He will give
to us His light.
To waste the day
is a mistake,
For work is
halted in the night.
O Lord, You've
given us Your Word
That we may show
Your great salvation.
We would not
waste what we have heard,
But do Your work
with dedication.
