HAPPY SABBATH + Standing On The Promises That Cannot Fail! ... Really!





In Humility
I Choose To Stand
On The Sure Promises
Of The Eternal God
Giving Neither Heed
Nor Credence
To The Bewitching Tales
Of The Winsome Fraud!


Father, Help Me To Trust My God!

I Stand As One Convicted
Convinced
Trusting
Hope-Filled
That The Living Word Holy
Is Wholly True
AND
I Ask You, Dear Brethren:

Are We Trusting Our God
Through And Through?

Am I Willing To Be An Abraham
AND
In Agony Of Soul
Go
To Sacrifice My Most Prized Possession
Most Loved
Loving
Because My God Asked Me
To Answer That Cruel, Cruel, Call
The Great Test Which
To My Taste
Is Bitterest Gall?!

Brethren, Beloved
Are You?!
Am I Willing To Say To My Heart
Speaking From A Reasoning Head:

My God Is Able!
His Word To Me Is True!
He Made Life
So He Can Raise You From The Dead?!


Father, God
I'm Walking In Faith
Your Bidding To Do!

Dear Ones,
Could You?!
Would You?!

Beloved,
We Call Ourselves Christians
AND
Out Of Christ's Character
We
- In Vanity -
Walk Proud
BUT
In The Coming Day Of Trial
Will Our Backs Bend
Even Break
OR
Will We
- Converted -
In Accord With The Father
In The Name Of The Son
With The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit
AND
With The Protection Of Holy Angels
Hold The Promise
Even As A Carrot
To Encourage Us On
To Stay Battling
Enduring The Fight
So That The Lord
- Our Lord Christ -
In Us
May Delight?!

I Must
You Must
We Must
Ask
AND
Answer
For Our Own Selves:

Am I Willing
With The Lord Christ
To Go All The Way Through Life
Enduring The Strife
- Even If I Die -
Even Unto Eternal Life?!

Will I Follow Where He Leads
OR
Will I
The Path Of Righteousness
Frightened
Sorrowing
Disappointed
Discouraged Through My Eyes
AND
My Feelings
- Regretful -
Leave?!

Is My God
Good Enough
God Enough
Grand Enough
Up To Snuff Enough
AND
Against Rhyme
Against Reason
Able
AND
Faithful Enough
To Get Me Home Safely
To Be Seated
At Almighty God's
Welcome Home Table
Not A Fable?!

Will We Believe Enough
To Gain
What Is NOT Stuff?!

I Pray The Great God
- For Us All Of The Household Faith -
That We Will Stand Tall
Heeding Always
Faith's Call!

Oh, Lord
Grant Us Your Grace
For
To Us
You Are Our All And All!
In Jesus Christ's Name
We Humbly Plead!
AMEN.
