Use Your Talents
You are Moses
On a journey to an idea
A place only in your mind
A destination you hold dear.
Pharaoh’s army are your creditors,
And the sea, the road blocks to your escape,
In your hand are your talents,
You have the tools,
Your entanglements you must overtake.
Israel borrowed Pharaoh’s riches
Their path the Red Sea blocked
God said, “Stretch out your hand.”
God said “Lift up your rod.”
Use your talents to move forward
Stretch your hand over the water
The seas parted for Israel
Supernatural debt cancellation
When the army met carnal slaughter.
Why did God drown the army?
The question has been posed.
Why not leave them on the other side
Safe and dry
When the Red Sea closed?
God’s plan is complete
The creditors would trouble Israel no more
They would be free to travel the world
Even back to Egypt
And there would be no one there to settle the score.
Pharaoh’s army are your creditors
And the seas the road blocks to your escape
In your hand are your talents,
You have the tools
Your entanglements you must overtake.
