Book 1 Mayim: Wisdom Excels Might
Wisdom Excels Might was the first intermission in the Book with the harp strings opening pulling in the listener to the presence of the message given by the wise elder. Old men for counsel and the young men for war. Proverbs 11:30.
He that dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High, shall abide under the shadow of his wings.
Story behind the song
Moreh Elisha was just warming the class up with some basic instructions of wisdom for debate talk and conversation against the non-believers. I believed he was talking to some of the people after some classes he had in the future about the information he was giving them. It seemed to him that they were just using this information as a stoke on the ego and to win by any means. But Moreh Elisha had to sharpened the younger recruits in the class on how he converted so many people during his time.
Lyrics
First of all let me inform my brothers and sisters. When you are attempting to reach people and talk to people, on the laws of the Most High you must come with a very gentle stick. If you are attempting to succeed! Now if you are trying to show how great you are and how overbearing you can be then you don't mind insulting and embarrassing the person. But if your trying to reach people. Remember a man convinced against his own will is of the same opinion still.
So you cant convince anyone against their will you must try to create an environment that they want to listen to you, that they want to see your point of view. Because if you don't achieve that objective, then you might not be successful in your endeavor. Then that would make them wonder is there something that I missed? Is there something that I need to see? Or at least see their perspective? But if you just go in with an insulting attitude you might not achieve your objective. And the scripture says he that is that wise wins souls. A fool don't win souls, he may say he won the argument, but he can't say I nobody soul.
Because a strong man does not go out to battle if there is no spoil to come home. Young man told me " I went out to debate a bunch of people!". What's the name that he called him Levi? No the other ones. Kemites! And I wont mention my brother's name. He said he debated with him. I said well "What happened". He said "I torn them to pieces". I said "Well where are they at today." He said "I don't know". I said "A King does not go out to battle if he don't have no spoil to bring home". You don't have no converts, you don't have nothing in your bag. But you won? You didn't win anything if you don't have the fruits of your labor to show for it. So that's what we want to do, we want to have our fruits of our labor to show that we witnessed as good faithful servants to the Most High. And you can only do this by approaching the whole situation with the right attitude.
Remember the only way to get 100% out of anything is by putting a 100% in. You can't put: 30% of this, 50% of that, 80% of this, and mix it all together, and think your going to come out with 100%. The only way to get 100% is by putting in: the 100% of the right attitude, the 100% of the correct information, the 100% of how to assimilate it correctly. And then you might come out with a victory. But you never get a victory if you don't have any spoil to show for your battles. Where's your spoils? And that's something that some of us are never able to bring home. No spoils. So a hint to the wise is sufficient.
