Light - 300 Lanterns

Trumpets and clay-pot lanterns were the weapons that God told Gideon to use in defeating the Midanites and Amalekites (numerous as locusts). God cut Gideon's army down the 300 men, obviously the victory would be in God's hands alone. My poem below are lanturnes (a poetic form) - nuggets of truth we can use to fight personal battles letting the enemy know that "the surpassing greatness of the power is of God and not of ourselves."
light God's fight in plain sight the foe takes flight light love plan of God above no push, no shove love peace release hate can cease need no police peace hope my rope learn to cope no call for dope hope trust unjust when I'm cussed I will adjust trust grace I face guilt gives place to God's embrace grace edited: May 16, 2017
