Enterprise

The Source of Order and Prosperity

Most of the poems lately have taken inspiration from the chapter headings in JI Packer’s book, “Concise Theology.” This one is not different, however, the approach to the subject is heavily influenced by David Bahnsen, as well.

Enterprise: The Source of Order and Prosperity

One mina, five mina, to another, ten
This is the way that the world has always been

Talents to all, in proper measure giv’n
Grace poured on us from the kind God in heaven

What will you do with this stewardship below—
Store it in the ground, or a true profit show?

The gifts of work and enterprise
Are oft so easy to despise

But with what folly we discard
The source of meaning, Though its hard

We ought to see work as a gift—
Through it God makes the chaos lift.
