Longing, Simplicity · April 26, 2022

1 Thessalonians 4:11

"Make it your ambition" is how it began
This straightforward verse that is part of God's plan
Ambition seems a strong word for such a plain task
How do I accomplish these duties that I lack?

Ambition requires determiniation, hard work, and skill;
A proclamation to be simple, quiet, and still
Ambition to mind my business and to work with my hands
A counter-culture living that combats fleshly plans

Ambition, I will do it, I desire a yielding life
I will keep busy working to help bridle all the strife
Ambition to follow boldly - wherever Jesus goes
A contentedness to follow Christ and not oppose
