“Other View?” [Module #303] (Matthew 22:15ff; Genesis 1:26; Exodus 4:1-3)
I’m picking up a different view
Than one I learned, like something new –
Not upward from some place on earth
But downward – Kingdom-layer first –Or something like that – I had seen
We bring resource to which we’ve been
Assigned, to mix with Kingdom coin;
But this says more – to Kingdom join –Or something like that – downside-up;
If so, that’s way beyond – but tough
To get my head ’round – can that be
That Kingdom-coin can set one free?!That says, “Detach from Caesar’s coin;
Call in resource as second born”;
To operate in other realm
Quite different is – it overwhelms!O Father, in Your image we
Created were; once blind, we see –
But as the moving of the trees,
Please open eyes and ears for me…“Stu, here it is – you’re getting close;
This different is, as I propose
Some task for you to do for Me,
With Kingdom-coin I make things be –For you are Kingdom-coin in fact –
God’s image – He created that;
Not simply coin, a tool for use,
But living likeness – turned you loose.You are God’s coin, but live not dead;
Your value lies in more than head
Stamped on some metal disc in play;
But rather in you, Spirit says –“Do this or that” so I can be
Involved in this or that through thee;
Lost coin? Indeed, but more than that,
Lost sheep, lost son – hey! Come on back!“So give to Caesar, metal coin;
But give to God your life, and join
With Him in creativity
As Kingdom-coin, in Kingdom free.“Cast down your rod, as Moses did;
It’s just a tool, of it to be rid;
You’ll never cease to be My tool
Conjoined in living as We fool –“Around in world so serious;
In Me you’ve joy delirious;
So give to Me your imaged self,
And We’ll get you up off the shelf.”Thanks Lord for this.
