Judges 7
When Gideon beat those Midianites
They fled to Bethshittah
Getting’ whipped by God’s humble people
Makin’ ’em look with wonder and awe!
Had to flee that heavenly spanking!
Got to go; those tent pegs yanking!
Need a brand new place to abide
From those mighty victors got to hide!
Time to run without spear or knife
Top priority is your own life!
Run with all your might for protection,
Then look to God for new direction,
And on the road you keep your cool;
Don’t be someone else’s fool
You belong to God; know He’s the boss!
Count all those things, even life for a loss
To gain that life with Him forever
Take up another counsel? No, never!
