“On Bogging Down, Or Getting Hit” (withhold) [Reflections on Ralph D. Sawyer's Translation of One Hundred Unorthodox Strategies - Battle Tactics of Chinese Warfare #65-66]
When I’m bogged down I need some help;
When you’re bogged down, I hear you yelp,
Then settle down to task at hand –
Retrieving you – stuck in your land.When devastation comes my way,
I’m needing help to get away;
When devastation comes your way,
Through words you speak, I hear you say –“I need some aid, tout-de-suite, I’d say
Please take my hand and lead the way;
If I don’t flee this present state
I’ll be quite cooked, and pass away.Bogged down, endangered – both are bad,
With no escape for us – quite sad;
So Lord, how does this flip in You?
What else is there for us to do?“Stu, it’s okay – I’m here for you;
Take up your tools – they’re there to use;
These insights ancient, though quite good,
Instructions are, once understood.“But don’t just sit, bogged down in swamp;
Engage forthwith – do what I want
You to address, in bitter war –
That’s what I gave you photos for.“They’re ‘Heaven’s kiss’, so stretch indeed
To ‘Kiss the Son’, so folks are freed;
Don’t latch onto what Andy does;
You’ve work to do – engage My cause.“Business, finance, are action-scenes –
Theater of war, where Satan’s been;
You are up on Kingdom-layer;
Engagement – intercessor’s prayer –Is now played out – ignore the rest;
Your time is short, get that addressed,
In Me that is, not on your own
All focus shift – do that alone.“Your photo-tools will useful be –
A scout you are, forthwith in Me,
You’ll come to understand a lot,
Then pass to body what you’ve got.So, all the rest now set aside;
In life henceforth, in Me abide,
And enter in your task in Me;
Don’t heed the parts not given to thee.”Lord, now I’m hearing, “Curb your tongue –
Sun Tsu’s my song to others sung;
But now to end, your talk curtail,
And do your task; in silence sail.”What of the Spanish language work?
“That part’s okay – don’t be a jerk,
But center now on Kingdom’s use
As it relates to cash abuse.“For they have insights, Frenchmen too;
The Portuguese; Italian view
Is something else – Perito guy
Was in that game – go find out why.Okay Lord thanks for this.
