“Don’t Be A Fool” [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write # – B 1:11]

Don’t be a fool, retreat is good –
Strategic love, when understood,
Is ’bout some package set in place –
Ka-boom – release of human race –

One at a time, or at one site;
Conditions changed? The time’s not right?
Then pull back as the Master calls,
And watch for when defenses fall.

If they’re too strong, and organized
To do some evil thing they prize,
Then you’ve got space to get prepared;
Stand down, in Christ, for you He’s cared –

Enough to pick a time that’s best;
To make some move so life gets blessed
Without unnecessary loss;
There’s time and place for love-based cost.

Lord, what I hear in this is “Smarts” –
Don’t rush right in and try to start
Some action done outside of You,
But stay in step – move as You choose.

Thanks Lord for this.
