“Kingdom Tools And Worldly Food” (Jn.21:20; Jer.29:7 ) [Sun Tsu First Half Re-Write #2B – #5]

That’s “Having gone” and “Settle in”;
“Seek peace, prosperity – begin
To live for real where you have gone;
Live off the land where you belong”.

From Kingdom-layer come tools you need
But not the grub – for man nor steed;
That far exceeds its cost to haul –
Do not in impoverish one and all.

That says to me (like Sandy Lake)
“The ground provides” – just fools would take
A plane of food-stuffs in by air –
Use Ian’s route – he moved in there.

A bubble was what we lived in –
Quite foolish that; now I’d begin
Like White-bear – “On resort abide;
Just tote the tools – leave rest aside”.

Lord, that says, “Stand back, ponder scene;
See where the victuals, fodder’s been
Provided – don’t demand supply
From folks at home – you will not die”.

I think of YWAM – from the first
Lived off the land – three days, then burst
The bubble – entered in their lives
“As one who serves”– one will survive.

Lord, when transposed from yesteryear
To here and now, view slowly clears –
Tools are for ministry of war
Through art – what transportation’s for.

But don’t rely on food brought in;
Buy local; put grain in the bin,
Drawn from locale where you are placed,
And life will flourish in your case.

Thanks Lord for this.
