What's Your Part?
by Barbara Philbrook

What's your part in God's great plan,
for what particular role did He form you in the palm of His hand?

Are you a great teacher with an intelligent mind,
or are you a soldier with an enemy to find?

Are you a homemaker getting ready to entertain,
or do you grow food and in the fields remain?

Are you a leader getting the program set,
or are you a worrier given the ability to fret?

Do you live unto yourself forgetting others,
or do you just strive to do well for your brothers?

Do you seek to learn more day by day,
and strive to instill that knowledge into life in some way?

Have you sought and found God's direction,
have you tried to serve Him with perfection?

Have you surrendered leaving Him in control,
striving only to reach His ultimate goal?

What's your part? Have you given it a thought?
Have you asked for His guidance as we've been taught?
