"Be Being Filled" [Module#353]  (Matt.25:1-13)

The tasks which lie ahead of us today
Will one day come – let Him not hear us say,
“I’m out of oil, my lamp is burned right down;
Suppliers of more oil are not around.”

I did that once or twice – no good indeed,
For when my task arrived I was in need
Of oil; my lamp, I’d burned the wick right down;
I sat there, T-shirt on, but sleeping sound..

I’ve learned a lot since then, but this is a new –
“Stu, go that road despite best point of view;
Abide in Me, for it will all work out;
Just do it, and ignore that inner doubt.”

And now, O Lord I see it – wiser five
Ran out of oil in end, but were alive;
When task arrived, they played their special part,
Then shut their lamps off – walked home in the dark.

That is the point on earth – but up above,
On Kingdom-layer there is no push and shove;
But rather, place to be and work each day
Above the blocks and stoppages in play.

So, Lord, I see it now – “Be being filled
In all your tasks, or else you will be killed
By needless running down your oil supply –
Be being filled each day – and that is why.”

Thanks Lord for this.
