Cleaning out the "game closet" yesterday, I happened upon a tiny pamphlet. It contained the following poem which I just loved. Hope you enjoy it too!
Do The Next Thing
From an old English parsonage, down by the sea...There came in the twilight a message to me;
Its quaint Saxon legend, deeply engraven....Hath, as it seems to me, teaching from Heaven.
And on through the hours the quiet words ring...Like a low inspiration--"DO THE NEXT THING."
Many a questioning, many a fear...Many a doubt hath its quieting here.
Moment by moment, let down from Heaven...Time, opportunity, guidance are given.
Fear not tomorrows, Child of the King...Trust them with Jesus, "DO THE NEXT THING."
Do it immediately; do it with prayer...Do it reliantly, casting all care;
Do it with reverence, tracing His Hand...Who placed it before thee with earnest command.
Stayed on Omnipotence, safe 'neath His wing...Leave all resultings, "DO THE NEXT THING."
Looking to Jesus, ever serener...Working or suffering be thy demeanor,
In His dear presence, the rest of His calm...The light of His countenance be thy psalm,
Strong in His faithfulness, praise and sing...Then, as he beckons thee "DO THE NEXT THING."
