“Unit Size” (Mt.5:14-16) [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write #5:1 ]
The Kingdom-layer or pinwheel’s pin
Expand, contract the shape they’re in,
Depending on how many men
And women want to live again.It all comes down to unit size –
Sun Tzu goes on to lay out five
As basic unit; others ten;
It matters not, control of them –Is done through training, forms, and clues –
Each person knows just what to do,
And when to change their forms to fight;
Each signal, flags the move, that’s right.Two basic units, when combined,
Can act the same for both then find
They know routines, and carry out
Their signaled movements without doubt.The same holds true for units five
Or ten – as “One” they then can thrive
With added function – units ten
Can split, combine, and split again.You put one million people there,
An infinitely signaled care
And love, as actions of the group,
They’ll form and split, re-form en route.That’s not to say they cannot be
Quite specialized – obediently;
They can, as “Specials” in a group,
Can form and split, re-form, to boot.Sometimes a “Special” backup needs,
So units form supplying these,
Again, deploying in the group,
Like signal Corps who trumpets toot.This way the million acts as one,
Yet splits to random look – “Undone”,
“Disheveled”, “Useless”, “Easy take”;
Then form again for victory’s sake.Lord, now I’m getting view of this –
How You deliver Kingdom’s kiss;
With basic training, signals, forms,
Much can be done beyond the norms –Of standard churchly common fare –
Like mega choirs we here on air –
Four – twelve – and seven-two as well,
As kinds of shapes do functions well.Some people work quite well that way,
While others must be left to play
Quite separate roles – auxiliaries,
Who help formations’ victories.Lord, as we saw last chapter, here
Is one way “Force” is gained – it’s clear
That weighing “Rock” with “Grain” of sand’s
A snap if “Base” we understand.Thanks Lord for this.
