Angel Approach Memo
Continued from Come Lead Us
I am… incredulous.
A large mercenary and his friends
Want to make me
The leader of their band?
I can’t even lead a Donkey
Or follow an Angel
Or trust my own Brain
To lead me
However
Since I am stuck
My Brain steps in
And says to them:
“Look!”
“I appreciate your offer
But we don’t know anything
About how to fight”
The big man looks at my Brain.
He turns to his friends
And laughs:
“That’s so cute…
He thinks
We want his Brain
To lead us
Into battle”
He turns on me.
I am surprised to see
A tear in his eye
As he whispers:
“All we know
Is how to fight”
He looks down.
“We don’t need your Brain
To make us better at
What we’ve always done“We need your Heart
To show us how
To stop fighting…”
“So we can go home!”
To be continued
Reflection
I feel…
- Impotent
- Heartless
- Homeless
- Troubled
- Solemn
- Entrusted
- On holy ground
Scripture
Jephthah answered, “You’re the very people who hated me so much that you kicked me out of my father’s house. Why are you coming to me now that you’re in trouble?”
Judges 11:7-11 TPT
They said to Jephthah, “We’re turning to you now because we want you to lead us in battle. Come and fight the Ammonites. You’re the one we need!” Jephthah said to them, “Very well. If you take me back home to fight the Ammonites and Yahweh gives me victory, then you will make me your ruler. Agreed?”
“That’s right,” they replied. “With Yahweh as our witness, we pledge our loyalty to you.”
So Jephthah returned home with the leaders of Gilead, and the people made him their commander and ruler. Jephthah stated his terms in a solemn ceremony at Mizpah in the presence of Yahweh.
