Just when we get comfortable
It may be time to stretch and grow.
The Lord will always lead us on
And teach us what we need to know.
As we follow and accept
His challenges and learning pace,
He will keep us well-prepared
And give us "tools" we can embrace.
If we try to rush ahead
We might just miss a needed skill.
If we tend to lag behind
We may not all His plans fulfill.
It's easy not to want to change,
For "stretch and grow" might mean hard work.
We should rise to meet the challenge...
Growing we should never shirk.
"Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."
Philippians 1:6 KJV
