Poem
it was the meeting of an epic bout in the Motherland
two heavyweights in the ring battling hand to hand
it was on, it was a rumble it was fight night in the African jungle
one fighter employed a new and unheard of strategy
to make the other wear himself out completely
it was the Rope-a-dope technique that he used to win
for boxing is not just physical, it's also what's in the minds of men

Jacob had an epic battle with the Lord our God
it was a confrontation long coming in regards to how his life did start
Jacob wanted to be in charge even though he wasn't the first-born son
but that is not the way that God wants things to be done
we all desire to be first to be the best of the best 
we all want what we want when we want and to be better than all the rest
but it's not okay to achieve your goals at the expense of someone else's pain
for what is it to have gained the whole world if your soul no longer remains?

someone will always be better than you no matter the vocation
but no one can be better at being you no matter the application
you won't be first in everything that you attempt to do
but no one can do you like you do you
we all can't be singers, dancers nor movie stars
but we all have a gift or talent given to us by the Lord God
it's not so much about being first it's about being good and right
and being honest in your approach and acceptable in God's sight

it's fight night the epic battle over your eternal soul
it's about your willingness to surrender and let God take control
to do what God has destined for you 
to trust in the plans that He has for you
after graduating I couldn't find a job in my chosen field
so I sacrificed to God's plan and to Him I did yield
I worked as an unpaid intern for an entire year
then one day my mentor told me of a job that he did hear
and only because of his recommendation, reputation and integrity
without even an interview the position was given to me
trust in God to meet you in the midst of your dark days
as He only desires that to Him you pray, yield and obey
a rumble in the jungle fight night with the Lord
a struggle with the Spirit until all is in accord
on the spiritual battlefield 
that's where you surrender and yield
don't think of it as a defeat 
but a leg in life's journey you need to complete
and don't regard it as taking a loss 
but a testament to the sacrificial blood on the cross
a time for you to get right with the Lord our God 
a spiritual fight night with a divine change of heart
