Be Godly Wise
Grasp knowledge in a firm embrace.
Open your eyes, your mind, your heart...
Discover, distinguish, deliberate…
Learn understanding at your best pace.
Your expression will radiate grace.
Wisdom brightens the face.
Insight is best, however, with humility.
Skillfulness shackled with pride,
Earnestly, will lead to your disgrace.
Ecclesiastes 8:1 (NLT) How wonderful to be wise, to analyze and interpret things. Wisdom lights up a person’s face, softening its harshness.
1 Corinthians 8:1-2 (The Message) We sometimes tend to think we know all we need to know to answer these kinds of questions—but sometimes our humble hearts can help us more than our proud minds. We never really know enough until we recognize that God alone knows it all.
Proverbs 9:10, 12a. (The Message) Skilled living gets its start in the Fear-of-God, insight into life from knowing a Holy God. Live wisely and wisdom will permeate your life…

Do Your Thing
Do Your Thing
Do your thing,
That thing God birthed you to do.
That thing God birthed in you,
Do it without fail.
Do it well.
Do your thing.
Do your thing.
Do it right.
Do it with all your might.
Do it with humility,
With grace and civility.
Do your thing.
Do your thing,
Even if haters hate,
Even if no one celebrates,
Though enemies and obstacles be vast,
God’s purposes for you, in you will come to pass.
Do your thing.
Do your thing,
Though the unknown rouse your fears,
And before you be heartache and tears.
Though the peak you must climb be high.
The only failure is not to try.
Do your thing.
Do your thing.
Someone is looking for you,
To be a light to guide them through.
They are waiting for you to rise,
Fulfill your promise in brightening their dark skies.
Do your thing.
Do your thing.
Let no one state,
“He waited too late.”
Let it not be said,
“Her dream is dead.”
Do your thing.
Acts 20:24 (New Living Translation)
But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.
Do Your Thing – God created you with purpose, faithfully fulfill it.
Do It Right – Seek God’s will, obey His word.
Persevere – No matter the tests and trials that will come, you stand!
Don’t Get Sidetracked – Let nothing or no one steer you astray.
Do It Together – Fulfill your role working in unity with the body of believers in Christ.
