Muscle Memory + PRAYER: I Give You, Lord, My Deceitful Heart!





I Had Lost My Way!

I Applied My Tongue To Cussing
AND
I Became A Curse Bird!

I Applied My Eye To Spying
AND
Became a Tatler:

Would You Like To Hear A Lil' Word?!


I Ran Around
Getting Into Other Men's Matter
Enjoying The Appellation
"Tha' Is De Expert!"

BUT
When The Tables Were Turned On Me
I Ran And Sat Down Righteously
In The Front Pew Of De People Church!

As Is To Be Expected ...

Good Behavior In Me
Di'n Long Last
For Soon
I Was In De Know
In Evahbody Bidness
AND SOON ENOUGH

There Was Bacchanal
For My Flighty Fiery Tongue
Through The Good Offices Of My Eye
Led To A Sold Out Show!

I Had Pledged To Reform!
By Cold Turkey, I Had Quit
BUT
Things In De People Church
Had Been Too Delicious
AND
Before Old Tom ... Cat
Could Lick He Split Ear
I Was In Foremost Lady Cora House
Hauled Up In She Easy Chair!
She Is Such A Dear!

Truth Be Told ...

Things Did Not Work Out
As I Assumed They Should
Because
Cora Was Not Called The Foremost Lady For Nothing
For
I Was Taught a Lesson
That I Will Never Forget
When She Turned The Rough-Table 'Pon Me:

  • Do Unto Others
  • Think Before You Speak
  • Give And It Will Come Back To You Just Not In The Way You Expect 
  • Plant Indian Corn: Guinea Corn You Will Not Reap, And
  • Preach The Gospel But Not Through Lying Teeth
  • What One Practices Is What One Performs
  • When One Walks In Broken Shoes One Will Get Corns

Lady Cora Is An Old School Teacher
AND
Her Lecture Was ... Well
You Judge:

When One Practices Folly
Foolish Is What One Becomes
AND
Giving The Red R A G In Your Mouth Gossiping Muscles
Marks One As Just Plain Dumb!

Foolish Gossip Is Double Jeopardy!
Living As A Bone Carrier
Is Simply Foolhardy!
You've Got A Fat Tongue
AND
A Permanent Squint In Your Eye
AND
Your Heart Is Just Plain Rotten!
Don't You Know That Gossipers 
To Almighty God's Heaven Won't Fly?!

After That Oh, So, Calmly Delivered Tongue-Lashing
You Should Have Heard My 


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
I Retire From
And
Repent My Participation In
The Gossip Game
And
I Willingly Give To You
My Deceitful Heart
My Itchy Ears
My Lying Eyes
My Seared Conscience
My Fiery Tongue
And
Beseech You
In The Name Of The Holy Jesus
To Keep My Feet
On The Path Of Peace
And

Off Of Satan's Oiled Easy Street!

Help Me, Please
To Mind My Own Business
- The Business Of The Living God
And
Jesus Christ's Soon Return -
So That
In The Great Day Of Vengeance
- Saved As One Enduringly Faithful
By Your Now Available Grace -
I Shall Ascend To The Great Reward!
I Love You, Lord!
Remember Me!
AMEN.

Job 12:7-10 King James Version (KJV)


7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

Vespers At The End Of The Sabbath



Joshus 24:14-15 (KJV)

 14 Now therefore fear the Lord, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the Lord.

15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

Walking with the Lord Jesus Christ must be an act of the Will for we cannot inherit our walk with the Lord from our parents, nor can it be passed on to us by association, nor by associating with Christ-followers.

We must make the decision, out of the intellect, to, this very day, and each and every day hereafter, to walk in the Light of God's Love if we desire to be saved to Eternal Life.

We must come to the realization that we need to - every single day that we breathe - consciously make the decision to give over our will and our way, to the care and safekeeping of The Creator God who loved - and loves - us enough to have sent His Only Begotten Son to become sin for us, and to die on that shameful tree, so that we might have abundant life.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Jesus Christ stated that He had to be lifted up, as Moses' brazen serpent, so that by so doing, He would draw all men to Himself.

John 3:14
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

John 12:32
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself."

It, therefore, must be understood, that as those who had been bitten in the desert by the vile serpent, because of sin, had to look upon the replica of the serpent to be healed, we, too, must look UP on the Crucified Jesus who became sin for us, and confess, and repent of our sin, so that we may be saved.

Jesus Christ is still calling, and drawing mankind to Himself. Won't you answer His call that you may be saved?



Look upon Jesus, sinless is He

Author: Franklin E. Belden

Look upon Jesus, sinless is He;
Father, impute His life unto me.
My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,
Cover with His life, whiter than snow.

Refrain

Cover with His life, whiter than snow;
Fullness of His life then shall I know;
My life of scarlet, my sin and woe,
Cover with His life, whiter than snow.


Deep are the wounds transgression has made;
Red are the stains; my soul is afraid.
O to be covered, Jesus, with Thee,
Safe from the law that now judgeth me!
