Some New Year's Thoughts

To be worthy in God's sight,
To be a light and then shine bright,
To hear God's voice and do what's right,
To not spend time on what is trite.

To daily lift God's name on high,
To obey and not ask "Why?"
To pray and not stand idly by
When someone hurting heaves a sigh.

To be kind in what I say,
To reach a set goal every day,
To not be idle or blase'
Or let wise focus slip away.

To pray in this election year
For God to guard our freedoms dear,
To God's leading to adhere,
And always His great name revere.

"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
I Thessalonians 5:16-18 KJV
