HAPPY SABBATH + Don't Act Like A Crab!











When We Were Young
To Have Someone Tell You That 
You Were Just Like A Crab 
Was A Grave Chastisement By Insult! 

One Crab Uses Another Crab 
By Climbing On His Back To Raise Himself Up 
And
He Doesn't Look Back! 

To Put It Mildly
A Crab's Mentality 
Is 
To Be An Ungrateful And Inconsiderate Being 
Aka A User And An Abuser! 

Lucifer Was Given Exalted Status 
By Jesus Christ The Lord Who Created Him 
But
He Was Not Satisfied With What He Had 
And
Where He Was In The Heavenly Hierarchy 
So He ... Being The Bright And Shining Ingrate
Set About To First Destroy The Character 
And 
Then The Life Of 
The Very One By Whom He Had Existence! 
So Much For Gratitude And Thankfulness! 

Beloved, 

Look Upon Lucifer Now Satan The Accuser Damned 
And
Weep For Your Own Self 
If 
You See That You Are Manifesting 
The Ingrate's Thankless Spirit! 

By Satan's Seeking To Destroy Jesus Christ's Holy Life 
And
Succeeding In Killing His Human Flesh
Satan Lit The Fuse Which Will See Him
And
All Who Are As He Is
Fire-Bombed And Burned With Unquenchable Fire 
Which Will Burn Itself Out When They 
And 
Then Satan
Are Completely Consumed! 

Please Let Us By Almighty God's Grace
Change Our Thoughts, Attitudes
And 
Actions 
So That We Are Not Amongst The Forever Lost! 

Peace!

Time Is Made For Change!
There Is No Changing Attitude
After
The Passage Of Your Judgment!

HAPPY SABBATH + Is Praise What You Do!?!


 






Is Praise What You Do!?! 

Or 

Do You Accept The Gifts Of The Creator God 
As Your Personal Due 
And
Dare To Ask ... Even As A Fleeting Thought: 
"Lord, What Took You So Long!?!" 
Or 
"Wow! 
Is This Really The Best That 
You Can Do For Me!?!" 

Ingratitude ... And Greed 
Along With Envy ... And Hatred 
Are Unholy Traits Of Character 
Which Must Be Purged From The Heart 
If 
We Will See Our Lord Jesus In Peace! 

Beloved, 

There Is Nothing Wrong With Wanting Good Gifts 
But 
Everything 
Is 
Wrong 
With Walking Around With The Attitude That 
The Lord ... Or Anybody
Has To Give You Anything 
And 
Everything That Your Heart Desires
Even Though It Is Known That Such A Gift 
Is 
Neither Good Nor Beneficial! 

Let Us Be Wise Enough 
To Be Grateful To Our God 
For What We Do Receive 
From His Holy Hand Of Love 
And 
Blessing 
And
Cease From Insulting Our Maker, God And King 
By Walking Around With The Air Of Entitlement! 

"Thank You!
Bless You!
I Love My Present-Gift! 
You're Wonderful!
I Appreciate You!" 
Is
The Cheapest
Most Expensive
Most Appreciated Gift
That
We Can Give: 
Extravagantly Give It!

The Lord Of Glory Doesn't Owe Us Anything! 
We ... To The Contrary
Owe Our Savior, Sustainer, Provider, Redeemer 
And 
Forever Friend
Absolutely Everything! 
Our Lives Are In His Hands!

Choose To Be Grateful, Thankful ...

Lift Your Heart To Heaven
And 
Praise God ... Just Because 
And Because 
It Is A Blessed Privilege 
And
Thoroughly Good For Us: 
It Is The Lover Of Our Purchased Souls'  Due! 

Beloved,

Get Thee Hence To The Altar Of Praise
And
Give Almighty God ... Father, Son And Holy Spirit ... His Praise:
Put Your Whole Being Into It
And
Be Glad
And
Be Gloriously Blessed ... Again ... And Again!

Ingratitude Ain't A Good Look On A Christian!

 Pin on Remember...live by.


We All Walk About Saying:
"God Is Good All The Time!"
And
Receive The Expected Response 
"All The Time, God Is Good!"

Question Is, Though
Does The Saying Mean Anything
Or Is It Just Code Talk For:

"I'm Just Trying To Make Myself Sound Like The Crowd
So That No One Suspects That 
I'm Totally Cheezed Off At The Lord
For Not Giving Me That Thing That
I Really, Really, Realllllly Wanted Yesterday!"

And

"I Never Get Anything At All That I Want!
Life's Not Fair!"
"Nobody Loves Me!"

These Dear Ones Forget
Ignore Or Misremember That 
We Get Blessings, Gifts, Benefits
Every Moment
Every Hour
Every Day Of Every Year That
We Have The Breath Of God 
Animating These Jars That We Call Flesh And Bone Bodies 
Compliments Of The Creator We Misuse
Abuse, Disregard, Denigrate, Despise
And
Less-Count! 

Ingratitude Is Not A Good Look On A Human
And 
An Even Worse Look On A Christian! 

Brethren, 

There Is Nothing More Egregious
More Annoying
Or More Aggravating Than 
Having To Deal With An Ingrate
A Person Who Doesn't Ever Say "Thanks For Your Kindness!" 

A Person Who Expects To Always Receive Good Gifts
Gives Nothing In Return
And 
Has The Unmitigated Gall To Be Upset 
Because 
The Gift Received Is Not The Gift That 
The Giver Should Have Known That 
The Ungrateful, Unthankful, Soul Truly Wanted! 

Worst Yet
Is 
The Soul Who Dares To Chastise The Giver 
For "Taking Soooo Long!" To Give Them The Much-Desired Gift! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Dare To Make It A Practice To Be Thankful 
And 
Grateful For All Of Our Blessings
And Then 
For Being Able To Give To And Bless Others 
Out Of Our Blessings
Our Good And Perfect Gifts From Our Father In Heaven
The Almighty God! 

Please Remember That 
Not All Gifts Are Available To Taste, See
Touch Or Feel! 

Let Us This Day 
Give Our Dear Father Grateful Thanks 
And 
Praise 
For Faith, Hope, Truth, Mercy
Grace, Provision And Protection
For Jesus Christ Who Saves
For The Comfort Of The Holy Spirit
For The Protection Of The Holy Angels
For The Deed To The Family Home In Glory
For Our Walk Through This Vale Of Tears
For Our Time In The Crucible For The Perfection Of Holy Character
And 
For The Gift Of Prayer That 
Causes The Recipient To Receive Even As He Is Using It! 



Father, 

In Jesus Christ's Holy Name
We Love, Bless, And Thank You
For All You Have Done
Is Doing
And
Shall Do For Us 
Even Right Now:
We Are Telling Everybody
About The Favor That You Show To Us! 

Peace Be Upon Us All!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: BOUNTIFUL BLESSINGS: Give God Thanks!


Daily Bible Verse | Daily Prayer | Daily Prayer - Psalm 13:5-6




Give God Thanks
With A Grateful Heart!!

We Are Blessed
And
We All Know It
And 
We Should Live Like We Do Believe That This Is So!

We Are Blessed 
Because 
Our God ... The Lord Jesus Christ 
Does, Indeed, Deal To Us Bountifully Aka Liberally
Willingly And Readily Out Of His Property
- His Storehouses Of Goodness -
Each And Every Moment Of Each And Every Day! 

Our God ... The Living, Holy, Eternal
All-Seeing, All-Knowing, Ever-Present God
Who Feels All That We Feel
Is 
The Giving, Blessing Spirit 
Who Gives Out Of Who He Is 
- He Is Good And Gracious -
To Provide For Us What We Need
And 
We Don't Even Have To Ask 
Because 
He Knows Our Every Need
And 
Sacrificially, Lovingly, Intimately Cares
For Each One Of Us Personally
And 
Desires To Bless Us Bountifully ... Liberally! 

Beloved, 

Let Us Look To Ourselves
And 
Let Us Choose To Be As Our Lord Is
First, 
To Give Him His Due ... Our Liberal, Heartfelt
Thankful, Grateful Prayers And Praise
And Secondly, 
To Be Liberal ... Generous
In Our Giving To Bless Those Who Are Less Fortunate
Those Who Do Not Yet Understand That Our Lord God 
Is 
Jehovah Jireh
Our True And Only Provider! 

Remember ... 

We Have ... Because He Gives! 
We Are ... Because He Is! 

May The Lord ... In Mercy
Deal Bountifully With You And Yours Today
And 
In The Days Ahead!! 


PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
I Willingly Offer To You
Grateful Thanks And Praise
For All That You Do For Me
Each And Every Day!

Father,
I Do Not Own Anything That
You Have Not Provided
And
I Sincerely Pray
In Jesus Christ's Precious Name That
Ingratitude Will Never In My Heart For You
Find A Place To Go Ahiding!

There Is Nothing That I Can Do, Lord
That I Can Do Without You And Your Blessing!
Without Your Breath Of Life In Me
I Would Be The Known-Cold Grave Filling!
Thank You For My Life!

I Love You, Lord
And I Bless Your Holy Name
And I Pray With All My Heart
For The Great Day
When With You I Shall Be To Heaven Winging!

Please Keep Me Faithful
For I Know That I Am Blessed
And
Please Help Me To Be
A Rooted And Grounded In The Lord Christ
Spiritual Success!
Please Have Mercy
And
Continue To Bless
According To Your Sovereign Will
And
In Your Holy Way
Because
It is In Jesus Christ's Name That
I Pray And Humbly Plead!
AMEN!!!


Don't Indulge Ingratitude!
Ingratitude
Is Not
A Virtue!

NEW BIRTH: Without The Lord Christ!?!




Choosing To Live Life
Without The Lord Christ In It
Is Like Being Alive
Without Having The Breath Of Life!

Brethren,

Please Do Not Say Nothing!
Just Listen To This Remark
And
Ponder It Deep In Your Heart
And
Plead With The Almighty God
For The Leading Of His Holy Spirit
To Guide You Into All, Aka Absolute, Truth!
Let The Word Of God Dwell Within You Richly
If
It Is Your Desire To Have A Peaceful, Contented, Life!

She Said She Needed A New Birth
So She Went To The Plastic Surgeon
And Had Him Apply
His Devilish Artistry
To Give Her The Facsimile Of
The Well-Publicized Face
Of
A Celebrity!

Serious Soul Searching ...

How Often Have We Forgotten
Where Our Daily Blessings Come From!?!
How Often Have We Forgotten To Remember
That Without The Lord Christ
Our Blessings Would Number None!?!

Ingratitude 
Is 
Not A Good Look Upon A Christian
Neither Offering Thanks To The World
When It Belongs To The Lord
So Let Us This Day Effect An Attitude Adjustment
And
Deny The Liar Who Wants What Is Not His To Receive
And
Lift Up The Lord 
Without Whom We Wouldn't Be Able Even To Sneeze!

All Good Gifts ... All Blessings
Come From Our Eternal God!
Nothing Good That We Receive
Will Ever Come From The World
Nor  From The God-Fraud
So When We're Considering
To Whom To Give Glory, Honor And Praise
Look Only Unto Jesus Christ The Righteous
The Holy God Whom We Should Graciously Laud
And 
A Loving Song Of Rejoicing To His Name
For His Gifts Of Grace
-  Unmerited Favor Showered Upon Us -
Generously, Lovingly, Joyfully, Thankfully, Humbly, Raise!


Stop Following The Goat Herd:
Read And Digest
Perform And Promulgate ... Share
The Living, Holy, Saving, Word
Of
Jesus Christ The King
Our Soon-Returning Savior And Lord
The Judge Of All Flesh!

HAPPY SABBATH + REBELLION: A Beautiful Jewel!?! + PRAYER: Thank You, Father, For The Gifts!




Perverted 
Is 
The Judgment, Sight And Hearing
In The Jealous, Envious And Rebellious Heart
And
All Who Take This Path To Power
Shall See Their Grass Wither
Never Having Produced 
A Goodly All-Glory-To-God Pretty Flower!

Korah, Of Hebrew-Exodus Fame
Was As The One Called Lucifer
Who Was Elevated Among His Brethren
But
Was Desirous Of The Position Of The Leader
And
Ended Up Being Cast Down Into Hell
Neither Having His Own Place
Nor The Place He Coveted
Which Led To His Eternal Disgrace!

Jealousy Touts Itself A Beautiful Jewel!
Envy Is The Setting In Which It Is Framed
And
Rebellion Is The Rich Attire
Gold!
Polished And Aglow
Bright And Bold
By Which The Heart Hardened
Puts On A Sold-Out
Spectacularly Foolish
Against-Almighty-God Cabaret Show!

Rebellion Is As Witchcraft
Known Denounced By The Living God
But
Beloved Beyond All Wisdom
By The Instigating God-Fraud!

Brethren, Beloved Listen Unto Me:

The Lord Does Not Play Mind Games
And
Neither Should We!

What The Lord Has For You
He Gives Unto You
And
Your Gift Should Never Be Trivialized
Because
All The Lord's Gifts Are Useful ... As Given
In His Service
So Do Not Be Rebellious
And
Your Foot ... By Turning Away
Nor Your Heart ... Elevated With Sinful Pride
Against Almighty God Lift!

Punishment May Not Be Swift
But
It Is Always Sure!
Repentance
Is
The Perfect Cure!
Deny The Liar
And
Get Off His Deceitful Lure!

PRAYER:

Heavenly Father,
Thank You For The Beautiful Gifts!
My Heart Is Grateful!
I Feel The Bliss!

Please Help Me To Be Satisfied
With What You Have Given Unto Me
And
Please Bless Me To Live With Contentment
Not Attaching To Myself
The Attitude Of The Ingrate, Ungodly!

I Am Your Child: I Am Truly Blessed!
I Am A Student Of The School Of Jesus:
I Seek Educational Success!
I Am A Worker In Your Vineyard:
Help Me To Be Faithful Steward!
I Am Wholly Yours:
All My Known Sins I Repent
And
Confess!

Please Bless Me To Honor You, Always
All The Days Of My Life
And
When My Day In The Son
In The Sun
Is Over
Let Me Fall Asleep In Peace
Knowing That I Shall Awaken
When The Last Trumpet Shall Sound
When My Lord Christ Comes 
To Take His Faithful People
To His Eternal Home!

Please Help Me To Gain
The Promised Victory
Over Sin, Self, Satan
Death, Hell And That Cold Grave
So That I May With All The Saints Of
All Ages
Rejoice In The Glorious Day!

Please Remember The Brethren
Known And Unknown
Seen And Unseen
Already In The Faith
And
Soon To Partake
That Are In And Out Of The Myriad Flocks
This Dying World Around!

Oh, Lord, Send Help
To Teach
To Serve
To Bless
To Point The Way
So That They, Too
May Request To Have In Their Hearts
The Blessed Guest
The Holy Spirit Of Truth!
We Need You, Father!

I Thank You For Hearing
And
Always Answering Heartfelt Prayer
For
It Is In Jesus Christ's Blessed, Holy, Name
That I Humbly Pray
And
With A Contrite Heart, Plead!
 I Love You, Father!
Please Come Soon!
AMEN.

IT MUST BE SAID: Cultivating Gratitude!

I Had A Single Grain Of Gratitude
And I Sincerely Wished For More
So I Put It In A Pot Of Care
And I Placed On A Sunny Shelf
Near My Entrance Exit Door!

I Told A Friend About My Desire
To Have Gratitude Blooming Richly In My Sphere
And I Was Shocked To The Max
At The Words That She Spake
And I Wondered If Cultivating This Friendship
Had Been A Sad Mistake!

She Bitterly Said:

What Do You Have To Be So Grateful About!?!
Your Life Is As Hard Is Mine!
Breaking Up Fractions To Know How To Live
Is A Task That I Roundly Despise!

I Don't Know What It Is That You Want To Be So Grateful For
When Each Day Is As Hard As Every Other
When Money Is Tight
When Health Is No Delight
And Just Looking At Another Person
Is Reason For Them To Pick A Fight!

I Replied:

Aren't You Glad You're Alive!?!
Aren't You Glad You Don't Have Cancer!?!
Aren't You Glad You Have Eyesight
And Your Legs Are Still With You
And No One Has To Push You Around
And In Your House There Is Still Reason For Laughter!?!

The Look I Received Was Chilling To Say The Least
And We Parted With No Words Of Affection!
I Went My Own Way
And To The Living God Said My Grateful Prayers
And Sought To Understand Why Words Of
Thanks And Gratefulness
Were So Hard For Some Of Us To Say!

The Scenario Is Not Real
But The Concept Is Very True
And All We Have To Do
Is To Look Critically Around Us
And We Shall See The Living Proof:

People Discontented With What They Have
Which Is More Than What Someone Has Or Some Other
But A Lot Less Than That Friend
This Brother Or Another!

Discontent Is An Offshoot Of Pride
And A Great Family To Greed
And Believe It Or Not
The Rich Want The Health Of Poor
Who Want The Wealth Of The Rich
Who Want The Peace And Rest Of Those 
Who Have Not Tasted Runaway Success!

We Ask For What We Want!
We Get What We Need
And Then We Blame God
For Not Really Knowing Each Heart
How To Feed!

Ingratitude In The Young Is Ugly!
Ingratitude In The Old Is A Disgrace
And We All Need To Do A Serious Think
About What Would Be The Outcome
If The Lord God Almighty
Loving King Blessing Faithful True
Were To Deal With Each One Of Us
According To Our Practice Of 
Not Returning Words Of Thanks And Prayers Of Gratitude!

We Beg Too Much
And
We Say Thanks Too Little!


Almighty God Does Not Owe Us Anything
But We, Ingrates That We Are
Owe Almighty God Everything!

Thank You, Dear Lord
For Your Untold, Unknown
Unexpected, Unappreciated
Daily Blessings Generously Showered Upon Me!

Thank You, Dear Reader
For Your Being A Part Of This Community!

Thank You, Dear Friend
For Your Kindness Today!

Thank You, Brother, Sister
For What You Do And Say!

Thank You, Mother, Father
For Teaching Me Truth And Right
And, Again
Thank You, Dear Lord
For Giving Christ Jesus Unto Me And My King
And For Guiding Me To Walk Ever 
In The Life-Giver's Light!

Thank You, Lord, Thank You!
I Beseech Of You A Boon!
Please Bless Me To Say "Thank You, Lord!"
Evening Morning Night And Noon!


Life Is A Gift!
Show Gratitude To The Giver ... Today!
Shower Him With A Generous Gift Of
Your Heartfelt Thanks
Willing Praise And Believing-Heart Prayers!

Memory Hall: Gratitude!




One Day I Made A Visit To That Memory Hall!
He!
She!
It Is Human
Living
Christian
Sighted
Hearing
Walking
Eating
Sleeping
Healthy Happy
Hopeful Hearing
And
A For-Real Ingrate
If I Know What One Is At All!
Behold A Laodicean Spirit!

Eyes To See: He's Blind As A Bat!
Ears To Hear: He's As Deaf As A Door Nail!
He Tastes And He Sees The Goodness Of
The Creator
The Savior
The Redeemer Friend
And, YetHe Finds No Reason
Sees No Need
Has No Desire
Shows No Willingness
To Approach Unto His Provider
Sustainer
Support
His Surety And Security
His Guardian Guide And Stay
And
Joy-Filled
Say:

Oh, Lord
I Bless You!
I Praise You!
To You, I Give Thanks!
My Heart Is Grateful
For The Great Gifts
Some Of Which
- Prior To Their Receipt -
Held In My Eye
No Position
No Rank!


Father,
I Will Not Be An Ingrate!
My Heart
My Head
My Hand
My Home
Are All Daily Blessed Immeasurably
By And Because Of You
And
In The Gallery In My Mind
I Shall Hang Memorials
Of

Your Goodness
Your Greatness
Your Blessings
Your Benefits
Your Gifts Of Loving Care!

You Are The Holy God
And
It Is You That I Fear!

I Appreciate You!
I Love You!
I Bless You!
I Need You More Than I Did Yesterday!
I Desire To Live On The Golden Shore
So That I Will Be Close
The Lord Jesus Christ
Who Did My Sin And Shame
Death And Damnation
Did Bear!


Oh, God Eternal
Mighty To Save
In Gratitude For Your Goodness
Greatness
And
Gifts Of Sacrificial Love
I, By Wisdom
In Faith
For Love
Give Unto You, Myself
And, Thereby
Brand Myself A Willing Slave:
I Serve You With A Heart Of Love!


Lord, You Give!
I Get!
I Gain!
In Gratitude
I Give You All Glory
Honor And Praise!
I Choose To Walk In Your Wise Ways!


Lord,
Help Me To Never Take
Your Blessings Upon Me
As Your Duty
And
My Right
For
Such A Gross Attitude
In The Heart Of Me
Does Nothing But My Soul Blight!

I Desire Your Heart To Delight!

I'm A Sinner, Saved!
I'm A Child Of The King!
I'm A Faithful Servant
And
A Student Awed By Your Majesty
By Your Glorious Self!
Help Me To Not Stifle My Conscience
But
To Remember With Gratitude
- Always -
From Whom My Blessings
My Help
My Certain Aid Comes
So, That
In The Day Appointed
I Shall Walk In Peace
In The Glade Of Joy
In The Home Of The Blessed
Where All Is Love
Joy
Peace And Rest!
I Worship You!
I Know I Am Blessed!


Brethren,

Since It Is A Fact That You Are Human
You Have A Memory Hall!

The Living God Owes You Nothing
But
You Owe The Living God Your Life

Your Praise!

Please Take Out The Remembrances Of 
The Blessings Of God Upon You
And
In Soul-Gratitude
Have The Occasional Service Of Song
Service Of Thanksgiving
To And For
The Living God Holy
Who Gives You Gladly
Grandly
And
Gloriously Of
His Great Grace!
Take The Time!
Life Is Not A Race!

Remember This ...

Ingratitude 
Is 
Not Fit Attire For
Nor Upon
A True Christian!

Almighty God 
Is 
For You!
Do Not Overlook His Goodness 
By Taking It As Your Right!
You Have No Right To God's Blessings!
They Are A Gift!

Almighty God
By Christ Jesus
Under The Agency Of The Holy Spirit
Works ... In Your Behalf 
Every Single Moment Of
Every Single Day
So
Show Some Gratitude
And
