Do the next thing

One of Elisabeth Elliot's quotes is, "Do the next thing."  Today on the Elisabeth Elliot quote page on Facebook, I discovered the fuller quote (and source):

Do it immediately;

Do it with prayer;

Do it reliantly,

casting all care;
Do it with reverence,
Tracing His Hand,
Who placed it before thee with
Earnest command.
Stayed on Omnipotence,
Safe 'neath His wing,
Leave all resultings,
DO THE NEXT THING.
~Old Saxon poem

I like the fuller meaning behind it.  And, I need to remember the fuller meaning. :)
