BATTLES IN LIFE!

In every skirmish, every fight,
There is a battle plan,
To guide our efforts to defeat
The enemy at hand.

Important that we know the plan;
The part that we will play.
What will the final results be?
There's only one to say.

There will be times in life when we
Retreat from battle lines,
To re-assess the damage done
From enemy placed mines!

Sometimes the wounds are very deep
And take so long to heal.
Sometimes we are not ready for
The pain that we will feel!

We disobeyed when orders came;
We did what we thought best,
And stepped upon a hidden 'mine'...
Of course you know the rest!

Commander's told us many times
His commands our edict.
"Obedience will bring blessings,
Disobedience...great conflict!"

I take the manual once again
And read His words so clear;
The promise that He'll be with me...
I'll never need to fear!

So, back to basic training now,
To learn where I went wrong.
A little R&R with Him,
Before long I'll be strong!
