Urgent Times

The "wares" of the world are many and varied.
They've offered distractions wherever we've tarried.
But now it is time to weigh what we do,
To make sure our efforts aren't just "much ado".

This is a season to draw close to God,
To "lay down" the paths upon which we've trod
And let Him have sway in the core of our being,
To know if His will we truly are seeing.

He then will show us if we are in sync.
It may be different from how we now think.
The times we are in are rapidly changing,
And all that we do might need re-arranging.

Whatever may come, we need to be ready.
If we are "tuned in", He will keep us steady.
Let His Kingdom values in us have new birth.
Let all that we do before Him have worth.

"Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not, the son of man cometh."
Matthew 24:44 KJV
