Be good and faithful stewards Archives - Page 7 of 7

Filling Our Carton

Yes, our carton gets filled
For we all choose contents
Either God’s will and truths
Or man’s changing concepts.

So, choose rather to suffer
Affliction, with God’s people
Than passing pleasures of sin
Be with Christ, and not evil.

Are you faithful to God
Or falling away
Follow His will
Or falter and stray?

Know our time will soon come
Before Him all must stand
Will your works all be burned
Or blessed…at His right hand.

Seems feelings, change often
Are not easily controlled
So we seek, passing pleasures
Hope our feelings, are consoled.

Be daily inspired
By God’s Holy Word
Pray the Spirit of God
Cause your heart, to be stirred.

Jesus calls us to go
Bold, as His disciples
But we’ve always excuses
Allow ‘self’, easily stifle.

Well done, good and faithful
The LORD will declare
To those loyal, trustworthy
Of all they took care.

I press toward the goal, yes, for the prize. The upward call of God in Jesus Christ.
