"Sun Tsu To Here" [Sun Tsu Summary To Here] (Matt.4:8-11; 5:37; 6:9-13)
So –
Assess the odds for you and them;
Reduce the drain on resource; then
Stand back – and ask – “Another way?”
Await the chink to be displayed –In armor – seven times around
Those city walls until it’s found;
Then draw the bow, increase the strain;
But make them form, unformed remain –Until you see them spread about
Defensively – then without doubt
You will be able, piece by piece,
To pick them off – your force released.That’s Sun Tzu’s process up to here;
This chapter’s words have made it clear
That we should flow as water-course;
Adapt, while formless, with resource –Until we see what form they take –
Then “numbers” shift, for we can make
Them spread out, come to where we wish
To strike, like rock on egg – like – squish.So how did he those kingdoms seize,
To give to Christ upon His knees
(If He should bow and worship him
As third temptation sought to bend –Christ to those ways Sun Tzu describes,
Which works so well beneath the skies)?
Quite simple – we each just succumb –
“Thy kingdom come; thy will be done –“On earth as in your hellish lair;
We’ll walk your ways; for war prepare;
Turn ways of universe on men,
And beat them senseless once again.”So that’s where he got turf to give
To Christ – we gave, that we could live
Our lives as “King of Mountain”, like
We played as kids – grown – we still fight.“Lord teach us how we ought to pray,”
They asked You back one summer day;
“Your kingdom come; Your will be done;
Keep us each safe from evil one.”Thanks Lord for this.
