IT'S TIME TO HIDE AND BE QUIET

GOD HAS MY FRONT, LIKE HE DID FOR DANIEL
WITH THE PHILISTINES
AFTER DANIEL HAD SLAIN
THEIR NINE-FOOT GIANT GOLIATH WITH NO STRUGGLE,
WITH JUST A SLING AND A LITTLE PEBBLE.
MY SWEET JESUS
IS TELLING ME
TO HIDE IN THE COTTONWOOD TREES
JUST LIKE I DID WHEN I WAS FIVE
TO HIDE FROM MY THEN GOLIATH.
AND NOW HE'S TELLING ME AGAIN,
THAT I'VE DONE ENOUGH FIGHTING ON MY OWN.
MY SWEET JESUS WANTS TO TAKE OVER,
AND SLAY MY NINE-FOOT-IT-SEEMS GIANT,
GOLIATH AGAIN.
SO I'M GOING BACK
TO MY GRANDADDY'S COTTON FARM
IN MY MIND
AND CLIMB AND HIDE
IN  MY HIGHEST AND FAVORITE
COTTONWOOD TREE.

2 SAMUEL 5:22-25-- ONCE MORE THE PHILISTINES CAME UP AND SPREAD OUT IN THE VALLEY OF REPHAIM; SO DAVID INQUIRED OF THE LORD, AND HE ANSWERED, "DO NOT GO STRAIGHT UP, BUT CIRCLE AROUND BEHIND THEM AND ATTACK THEM IN FRONT OF THE POPLAR TREES . AS SOON ASK YOU HEAR THE SOUND OF MARCHING IN, THE TOPS OF THE POPLAR TREES, KMOVE QUICKLY, BECAUSE THAT WILL MEAN THE LORD HAS GONE OUT IN FRONT OF YOU TO STRIKE THE PHILISTINE ARMY. SO DAVID DID AS THE LORD COMMANDED HIM...
