In the season of sun, in the season of snow,
Be ready, be steady, be geared up to go.
The apostle said, “Timothy, always prepare.
Be instant, be present, be fully aware.”
But readiness isn’t a list or a chart.
It’s a flexible, bendable, teachable heart.
Not knowing the plan is completely okay,
When God is the One who will show the way.
You may plan for Monday, Tuesday, or the week,
But God may have something much better to seek.
The calendar’s great, but don’t lock it too tight.
God’s plans may surprise you by morning or night.
Surprises will come, and surprises will go,
But what’s up ahead? Well, you’ll never quite know.
You can’t see tomorrow, merely guess what is due,
But God knows the path, and he’ll walk it with you.
Be willing to drop plans as God make them new,
For wisdom grows best when your thinking does too.
Renewing your mind is the start of the race.
Let go of the junk to go at his pace.
“Oh yes, I am ready,” you might say with cheer,
But sometimes we’re blind to the things we should fear.
You don’t always know, so don’t stand too tall.
For pride in your readiness leads to a fall.
Stay humble, stay watching, stay asking the Lord,
“Help me see what I can’t. Keep my mind in accord.”
Your strength isn’t yours, it is borrowed you see.
From Jesus, the Vine, who grows fruit on your tree.
Without his guidance, you’ll most likely stray,
But stay to his side, and he’ll show you the way.
Depend on his power, his voice, and his hand,
For with him, my friend, you’ll always withstand.
It’s a constant choosing, a daily delight,
To walk in his wisdom, to follow his light.
Make the most of your days. Don’t let them drift by.
Be ready to live, and be ready to try.
Look. And you’ll find him. Knock, and he’ll come.
He’s waiting for seekers, not those who stay dumb.
Be watching. Be waiting. Be fully awake,
With God on your side, every storm you can take.
Readiness isn’t a box to be checked.
It’s a daily decision, a life to inspect.
So be instant, be ready, in season or out.
With God as your guide, there’s no room for doubt.
