TIME-ORDER-FOCUS

Tick - tock, tick - tock

Hear the ticking clock

Note the moments lost

Count the climbing cost.

God gives to each of us

The time to order focus

First His divine purpose

In Him place our trust.

In order to get it right

Seek God the guiding light

Then life is not a waste

Don’t delay, make haste.

I will hasten to define

The phenomenon call time

It is really life, you know

God has measured it so.

Time is all we’ve got

God’s purpose is our lot

So let’s be up and doing

His will alone pursuing.

However long our days

We must avoid delays

So prevalent in our way

Most evident in our stay.

Time may be a moment

Or just an ordered event

An opportunity or a chance

Someone’s life to enhance.

It’s not just about me and I

Or when hurt brings a sigh

But all of God’s creation

Should engage our attention.

By now we all should see

Time is not a place to be

But a facility to be used

Not I but let God choose.


  

So life is a period of time

Often its clock will chime

Reminding of its brevity

One has entered eternity.

So what do I do with time?

Order now comes into line

For but few are our days

Number them King David says.

 

Solomon, his very first son

Reminds of the following one

A time to live and a time to die

Now that’s a fact none can deny.

A necessity we dare not miss

In the order of this analysis

God is first as the order is set

Remember, we tend to forget.

Order is important do realize

This is the key as we priortise

God first in all that we do

Brings success to me and you.

About order take another clue

Important to me and to you

What’s really needed in this life

Are love and peace, not strife.

Put them high up on the list

To omit them is a critical miss

God made us for one another

To live for His good pleasure.

Order right we won’t go wrong

Marching on bold and strong

Setting focus by the Guiding Light

Aimed at Christ so set our sight.

  

Focus makes the difference

In a hit or miss circumstance

In all of life’s endeavours

Focus unearths the treasures.

Time, order and focus, note

Make this your familiar quote

“Redeeming the time is a must

In Christ Jesus I dare to trust”.

God it was that created time

Ordered all that we call mine

By His focus all came to be

By His word all that we see.
