Daily Reminders

1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

It would be so easy
Myself a Christian to call
A weekly commitment
Nothing else at all.

I live by my calendar
On my phone you see
Reminders that beep
Daily directions for me.

I can pencil in God
He is important you know
My phone will remind me
Which day I should go.

I would hate to forget
What would people say
Christians go to church
That is a rule for that day.

Wait my calendar messed up
It has reminders each day
Discipleship must have spellchecked
How did that happen any way?

I can’t do Christian every day
I have worldly things to do
Work and sports and parties
Doesn’t God have a clue?

I can’t do Christian every day
I would have to change my mind
How in the world can I do that
I bet in the Bible I will find.

The Bible says not to worry
The world say worry a lot
It seems to me the Bible
Has a better plan to be got.

I know it will be hard
I know it may cost me dear
But I want to live for Jesus
I want this to be our year.

I want to know him more
I want to feel him near
I want to read my Bible
I want to have no fear.

I want to live for him
Paul said it will be a fight
I want to be a Christian soldier
Jesus died to give me the right.

I know how he died for me
He paid the ultimate price
Understanding this life is my cross
I don’t get a do-over twice.

I really do want to live
More than just appear
Move from just a Christian
To his disciple without fear.

I want a daily reminder
My calendar, my Bible, my heart
I want a daily abiding walk
With Jesus I will not depart.
