“The Comb-Through –D – Who’s In Charge” [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write # – 1:2D]

Of leadership, or who’s in charge of things,
Sun Tsu says it’s the focus fourth comb brings –
That’s Father-God, and Jesus in the field
As General, with Holy Spirit sealed.

So Father-God looked ’round that fateful day
When satan bade goodbye, went on his way;
God asked, “Who’s giving leadership out there,
Redeeming all of this so it’s repaired?”

Then, when the time was right, Christ came our way,
Field Marshall ’till the ending of this play
For power satan took for his own ends,
As he the universe to his will bends.

It’s not an issue of who’s got more power –
That’s Satan’s way – quite a reckless in his hour
Of doing life his way in freedom given,
With those who’ve joined, then through his ranks have risen.

His use of power and authority,
To set up many principalities,
Is out of line, no holds barred in his way
Of doing life (en garde he does not say).

But like a roaring lion in the trees,
He seeks to scare, then chase whoever flees;
Destruction’s on his mind, his ways are skilled;
He’s evil-minded, arrogant, self-willed.

So, Father-God sent out His only Son,
Who sent the Spirit earthward as the One
Who, comforts, guides, directs, those folks who come
To know and love Christ Jesus – God’s own son.

Like Father-God, Christ Jesus looks around,
Assessing situations on the ground;
Gives leadership through some (as body parts
Are given to show me here His war of art.

For Heaven’s Kiss (photography, that is),
Needs guiding hands and training for this biz;
With others in their tasks assigned by Him,
That Kingdom-layer-production can begin.

I think back seven decades of my life,
How leaders and sub-leaders set things right;
How others had no clue about their role –
Authority mis-used exacts a toll.

So when you give directions, Lord, to me,
To do some “This or that” so life can be,
A saving gesture happens here because
My act gave room to You – makes satan pause.

So Lord, as I hear all the things You do
Behind the scenes, I’m glad to follow You
As You fulfill Your work through body-parts
(That’s us) – so Kingdom-life ’round here can start.

Thanks Lord for this.
