Rule of Threes Five
Pride negatory
Better to share His glory
God writes your story
Special kind of gain
We can only learn through pain
God may not explain
Treasure has a source
Wisdom is treasure, of course
God stores His resource
When God sends trouble
And we climb out the rubble
Job got a double
Lies are on the rise
Look at all the hostile eyes
Folly in disguise
He regrets his birth
He can't understand his worth
Scripture will unearth
A faith confession
Eternal life impression
Better possession
When your heart is torn
When your spirit is forlorn
When choked by the thorn
Let faith have its way
Let Him put grace on display
Let thorns fall away
Man pursues success
Until pride leads to duress
Then pleads for His bless
The rulers rebel
The peoples' uproar to quell
They guile to compel
The elitist spins
Hiding expedient sins
Human folly wins
Check your pride or fail
Morality will derail
Satan will prevail
A warrior born
His fear of battle to shorn
His faith to adorn
Godly seed or line
New birth joins you by Design
There is a deadline
The Babel system
Is designed to resist Him
Not to assist Him
Those who fall away
Can lead you further astray
Give them no leeway
He will graft them in
Much to the Devil's chagrin
Israel serves again
He gives strength to you
He can drain it away, too
So, you remain true
See the Erudite
Clever, not wise, in His sight
They crave the limelight
His Scripture indicts
Caught in the Spirit's searchlights
Sin receives stoplights
Why run the stoplight?
The dead-end is out of sight
So, I am all right
The future preset
Promised Redeemer paid debt
Death's sting is no threat
When He breaks the seal
Awesome judgments to reveal
POWER IS SURREAL
The Hill of Foreskins
Once their submission begins
Now chalking up wins
God plans to bless us
Satan conspires to harm us
That's why all the fuss
Knock, knock - "Who is there?"
"Jesus, will you become My heir?"
"Hide the silverware."
"How do I tell you,
When words simply will not do?"
Faithfulness gets through
Reason for defeat
Look not at God for retreat
You're on the hot seat
Faith hesitating
God's honor moderating
Progress deflating
Act on His desire
He walks with you in the fire
He thwarts 'Nezzar's pyre
Deception in war
Lies He wants us to deplore
Does His curse call for?
Football's secret sauce
Each play a win or a loss
Hostile lines to cross
Problem and prayer
Climbing the steps of His stair
Jacob wrestled there
How His Kingdom won:
Seals unleash the 21
Judgments get it done
