The bird sings no one asks why

There is a Gary Larson cartoon with a chicken standing on one side of a road the sign says, "Why not?"


Why do we stand
On one side of the road
and just wait?

We are not chicken
but children of God
who have feet and a will to obey.

It does take some will
to obey the Creator
and do what we were created to be.
It does take some will
to say Your way not mine
and remember the plan that's ahead.

We'd rather stand still
and not do what we're called to
we'd rather be settled and set in our ways.
We confess that with laughter.
Not recognizing our sin there.
Someone else can just do it
we'll stay right here.

There are no excuses
about all the ranting
we do without doing all that we can.
God gave us brains and expects us to use them.
Let's get on going -there's no holding back.
