"Effective Control" [Sun Tsu Series Chapter 6 Title] (John 11:4-45; Matt.2:2-17; 13-18; Luke 4:28-30)

Control’s effect means knowing self,
And foe ahead – plans off the shelf
Won’t cut it in the field each day;
Conditions change – so find a way –

To ebb and flow, go forward, back;
Know when to rush, press to attack
On weak, the empty, vacuous,
Inferior – for there’s success.

Avoid their fullness – where they’re strong;
Their substance, strength – just move along;
Go ’round their great ability;
Avoid superiority.

Do tasks assigned, say words for Him;
When moved by Spirit, work begin;
When bid, go home another way,
To fight again another day.

Thanks Lord for this.
