“From Strength - Precept On Precept” ( ) [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write – #2-11]

So this is how the battle’s turned,
How strength is gained, rewards are earned –
Live off the land of enemy;
Turn troops and weapons back for Thee.

Lord, that’s so cool, I’d not seen this –
Engaged each day to do our bit,
As we respond at Your command,
And turn the tide here in this land.

And Kingdom-layer, where does that fit?
“Why it’s a place to start – admit
That doing battle on one’s own,
Is hopeless mess, in battle zone.”

So Lord, I see the local church
As “Fishing pond” (one could do worse)
For those now sickened by the gore
Old satan spills upon the floor –

As they observe those seizing power
And wealth within pandemic’s hour;
Then sense there must be more to life
Then milking cash and power from strife.

It could be they hear better things
Are going on, as each church sings
Your praises, not in song alone,
But in its actions – second home.

Lord, this excites me – so much more
Could be achieved, as You restore
Each person in or out of church,
’Till no one’s left out in the lurch.

Thanks Lord for this.
