Doing Your Best

Don’t be lazy or casual about your service, but diligently seek to please the Lord, rejoicing in patient endurance and prayer for the good that might result. — Romans 12:11–12 The Discussion Bible

Don’t dawdle or doodle or drag out your day.
Don’t snooze through your calling or wander away.
The Lord didn’t make you to twiddle and yawn.
He made you to shine like the dew on the lawn.

Be zippy. Be zealous. Go give it your best.
Don’t settle for lazy. Stand out from the rest.
Rejoice when it’s hard. Keep praying with cheer,
And trust that the good stuff will surely appear.

Stay steady, stay faithful, and don’t lose your grip.
God’s steering the wheel, so hold on for the trip.
When bumps try to shake you or storms make you slide,
Just trust in his plan for he’s right there to guide.
