Wisely Working


"All men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of His doing" (Psalm 64:9).  "Through wisdom is an house builded… Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep, so shall thy poverty come" (Proverbs 24:3,33,34).  "As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God… that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen" (1 Peter 4:10,11). 

The day is surely drawing near
When men shall see and wisely tell  
The work of God that shall be clear
Which they shall then consider well. 

We should be wisely working now
As God gives the ability
To serve Him, while He will allow,
With gifts He gave us graciously.

We are the stewards of the grace
That God has given for a reason
As we obey Him in this place
And glorify Him in this season. 

May we be wisely working, Lord,
And using gifts You freely gave,
Redeeming time that You afford
On this side of the coming grave.
