"Staying Flexible "  [Sun Tsu #6-9] (Matt.28:20; Ps. 138:7-8)]

If you don’t know a thing for sure
It can’t be known, though great allure
Exists in strutting flags and drums
As you advance – and hope he runs.

“Engagement spot” is case in point –
“Real circumstance” when we appoint
Some task to men to carry out
“Attack”, “Engagement” – hope for route.

Intention’s well and good, of course,
But not if known – then we’ve remorse;
So watch your lip – location where
You will give battle – silence there.

So, hidden from the enemy
Your good intentions now will be
Quite hidden – can’t anticipate
Where you’ll appear – for you he waits.

Now you can fool him – he’ll prepare
For battle here, or everywhere –
Which can be known to you – to form
Your own attack – now you’ve been warned.

Stay loose, for then he cannot see
Where you will come, so certainly
Anticipate as best he can
Assigning posts to every man.

The key is make him show his hand,
Deploy his troops across the land;
For strength to rear or van you’ll see
Or left and right – (or all can be –

The case) – it matters not just where
They go – the ratio compare –
Strong in defense means weak elsewhere;
Defended all – thin everywhere.

Defense is passive use of force;
Ties up your assets – though of course
It’s needed in some times of need –
But don’t go wild and worry feed.

The Kingdom-layer gives a way
To rise above the flow, and stay
Engaged with best place to attack
Aware, in Christ, of what they lack.

Some think the evil one’s not there;
Some see him almost everywhere;
Don’t just respond – shift to advance
Find victory in circumstance.

Thanks Lord for this.
