The Apostle waits quietly for the anointed Word

The young man speaks with eloquence,

revelation he had to borrow

The Apostle speaks God’s Word

piercing spirit, soul & marrow

The young man tells all he knows, wanting everyone to hear

The Apostle is discerning, no pearls upon deaf ears

The young man wants the crowd

The Apostle wants the one

The young man wants a team

The Apostle wants a son

The young man fills the alter with demanding, begging cries

The Apostle labors earnestly to birth someone in Christ

The young man brings the crutches

The Apostle brings the axe

The young man consoles the flesh

The Apostle never looks back

The young man brings a Bible

The Apostle brings the Sword

The young man seeks the people

The Apostle seeks the Lord
