Work and Watch

Read:  Psalm 84 / Proverbs 30 / Amos 1 / 1Peter 4

 

Psalm 84:5,6 ~ Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools.

Proverbs 30:5 ~ Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Amos 1:2 ~ And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

1 Peter 4:3,7 ~ The time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles… But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.

 

We do not know our journey’s length

Or circumstances of tomorrow.

But this we know: we need God’s strength

To bring His joy where there is sorrow.

 

We need to trust in God our Shield;

We need to cast on Him our care.

While souls may yet be saved and healed,

We need to work and watch with prayer.
