OPTIONS: Temporary Satisfaction vs. Eternal Bliss!

 



We Have Options! 
We Have The Choice Between Truth And Error
Good And Evil
Careful And Careless 
And 
Temporary Satisfaction And Eternal Bliss! 

For A Committed Christian
The Idea Of Having 
"A Lil' A Dis Right 
And Summa Dat Wrong" 
Like Eating Off A Buffet Table 
Is 
An Illusion! 

Beloved, 

Consider That You Are A House Well Maintained 
Until One Fine Day 
When Some Howlie Broke One Of Your Windows! 

You're Angry 
Because 
You Have Someplace To Be 
And 
You Really Don't Feel Like 
Dealing With That Issue Right Now! 

You Go About Your Business 
Which Turned Out To Be Profitable 
And
In Euphoria
You Forget About The Broken Window! 

Somebody Else Didn't! 

That Minor Broken Window 
Transformed Into Your Major Problem 
When It Became The Gateway For Thieves 
Whose Wicked Activities Were Only Discovered 
When Your Haphazardly-Managed House-Alarm 
Was Eventually Triggered! 

For Being Willfully Careless
You Were Wiped Out When The Thieves Cleaned Up! 
You Have To Start Over ... If You're Able! 

Dear Ones, 

Build Back Better 
Is 
Euphemism For 
"I Dropped The Glass Ball!" 

Knowing Right And Doing Wrong 
Is 
Sin 
So Please Clean Up Your "Little" Sin 
Before Bad Habit Turns Into Planned Sin 
Which Turns You ... Unwise
Into A Reprobate
Unapproved By Almighty God! 

Be Wise For Your Own Self And ... Think 
And
Get Your Bible-Scale 
And 
Weigh Short-Term Ungodly  Ease 
Against Eternal Heavenly Bliss! 

You Know The Truth: Embrace It! 
You Know The Way: Walk In It! 
Peace!

The ACTS Of Prayer!

Okay!
Now It Is Time To Consider The Act or The ACTS Of Praying!

What Four Words Can We Use

To Create An Acrostic For ACTS!?!

Adoration!


Confession!

Thanksgiving!

Supplication!

Those Are All Excellent Choices
And
Perfectly State The Case
When Before The Lord We Attend!

Here's Our


ACROSTIC

   
A doring The Almighty God
C onfess Christ And Your Sins And Indulge
T hanksgiving To The Eternal Before
S upplicating Him For Others And Self!


But, Brethren 

We, You, Me ... We Have A Problem! 

We Can't Bring The Father Down:
We Must Go Up to Him! 

We Must Not Be Like Discourse
And
We Must Not Be Like Shopping List!

The Lord God Of Grace 
Is Not 
A Heavenly Ebay, Wish, Or Amazon
So Change Your Attitude
If It Is Your Desire To Enjoy Eternal Bliss! 

If It Is Our Desire
To Really Attach Ourselves To Our God
We Must Indulge Intercourse
And
Not That As Promulgated By The Agents Of King Fraud! 

We Are Warned:








Saying Prayers To Our God Holy 
Should Never, Ever, Involve Repeating A Word
A Phrase, A Chant, Or A Mantra Multiple Times! 

I Guess Then That Prayer Beads
Rosaries And The Like Are Given The Kibosh! 

You Got It In One! 
No Beads, No Rosaries! 

The Lord God Is Creator, Savior, Provider, Healer 
And
Friend ... Best Friend
And
He Has Given Unto Us His Outline For Our Prayers
Because
He Loves Us And He Sacrificially Cares For Us
And
Upon His Love, We Can Surely Depend!

Indeed!

If We Diligently Follow The Lord's Leading
We Will Never Go Astray! 

Well Said!
When We Speak To The Lord ... No Appointment Necessary
We May Speak To Him Of Joy, Sorrow, Desire
Pain, Hope
And 
Ask For Help 
And
Listen To His Response ... I Beseech You, Please
And
Give Thanks And Praise 
And
Bless His Holy Name! 
He Is Worthy!

So What You Are Really Saying Is, For Example 

If I Was Telling My Best Friend About
Oh, New Shoes, New Store, New Mall
I Would Talk Color, Purpose, Heel Height, Price
Distance To Mall, Good Time To Go
Ambience ... Smells, Sight, Sounds
Service, Satisfaction, Pleasure Derived
And Tell Of Problems Endured
And Request Commiseration Aka Expect Commiseration
Offer Thanks And Appreciation For Listening
Exchange A Loving Look
Experience A Tender Touch
Enjoy A Hug
Relish A Laugh
Wallow In A Companionable Silence
And Listen Raptly ... Each To The Other 
As Exchanged Thoughts Are Conveyed! 

Wow! Just Wow!

I'm Shook!

Indeed! 

Before We Totally Get Carried Away, Though
Let's Just Bear In Mind
And
Remember Never To Forget 
When We Have Our Real Conversation With Our God
That Above All Else
He Is Holy!

Our God Knows Everything!
You Can't Fool Him!
You Can't Lie To Him!
He Knows What You Need Before You Do 
And 
Before You Express It
And 
That He Loves You Best! 
Remember The Sacrifice!

I Hear That!

The Lord Desires To Hear Our Prayers
Petitions
And
Praises
He Desires Us To Make Big Requests Of Him! 
He Desires Us To Prayer With The Power Of The Written Word ...! 

... What Do You Mean By That!?! 

Simple! 
Dare To Believe His Word
And
Pray Back To Our God 
The Very Promises That He Has Given To Us! 

For Example!?! 

Come Unto Me 
And I Will Show You Great And Glorious Things 
About Which You Know Nothing! 





Create In Me A Clean Heart, Oh, God!

Nice! I Like That!

Have Hope, Brethren
Believe The Lord At His Word
Trust Him And Obey Always
And
Pray With The Power Of 
Your Daily Gift Of Faith ... Unceasingly!
Blessings Be Upon You All!

AMEN!!!

PRAYER: Lord, Help Thou My Unbelief!

Master!
Lord!
My Teacher!
My Friend!
Jesus Christ
The God Of All
Loves Me
And That ... Without End!

I Know Not Where My Feet May Travel
I Know Not Which Row
In The Garden Of Life I Must Hoe
BUT I Know The One
Whose Undying Love For Me
Has Deliberately Made
Personal Provision
Just For Me!

He Who Has Promised
Has Made The Word Plain:

Eye Has Nor Seen
Nor Has A Man's Ear Heard
The Plans
The Provisions
That I Have Made For Thee!

*********



PRAYER:

Lord, 
I Believe You! - Help Thou
My Unbelief!


Lord,
I Receive You! - Help Me Not To Grieve You!


Lord,
I Am Blind!
If Thou Wilt
Thou Canst Make Me See!


Lord, I
My Sin Against You
- In Contrition -
I Do Confess
And
I Plead
- In Jesus' Name -
Most Gracious God
Please Save Me
To Enter Into Your Bliss!
AMEN.
