ABLE AND FAITHFUL: Our Lives Are In Jesus Christ's Holy Hands!

 





Without The Lord Jesus Christ The Righteous
We Are Lost ... And Twice Dead! 

Sunlight, Water, Rest, And Shade:
Jesus Christ Is The Rock That Against Sin Prevails! 

Bury Your Self In Jesus! 
Be One With And In Him! 
Hold To The Unchanging Hand
Sing Praises
And 
To Him Forever Cling! 

When The Storms Of This Life Blow
When Black Balls Against You Are Thrown
When Food, Funds, And Family Are A No Show
Run, Hurry, Beloved
To Our Dear Savior Go! 

There Is No Shame In Praying! 
Show No Fear In Expressing Need! 
There Is Love For The Taking 
For It Is The Ready Response 
To Our Expressed And True Need! 

Pray Without Ceasing! 
See To It That It Is Upon Christ That You Are Feeding! 
Make Sure That It Is His Living Word That You Are Heeding
And 
It Is Certain That 
It Will Be To The Glorious Kingdom That 
You, Saved And Blessed, Shall Surely Be Speeding! 

Be Prayerful! 
Be Hope-Filled! 
Be Grateful And Be Thankful 
Because 
Our God Glorious 
Is 
Able And Faithful! 

Let Us Give Our King Jesus Great Praise 
For Our Lives 
Are Well And Truly In His Holy Hands! 

Peace!

VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Sing Unto God! + PRAYER: Help Us, Lord, To Sing Unto You Like Whistling Kettles!




Give Almighty God Great Praise: 
Don't Be Stingy! 

Think Critically, Beloved
About The God ... The Lord Jesus Christ 
Whom We "Proudly" Say That We Are Serving 
And 
Dare To Recognize That We Are ... Liars!?! 
Yes! Liars! 

We Say We Serve The Holy God
Who Ever Strengthens Us 
And 
Even Shields Us From The Harm We Cannot See! 

We Say That We Totally Trust Him 
But 
What We Mean To Say Is That 
We Trust Him Sometimes 
And 
Usually When It Is Convenient 
Aka When He Helps Us According To Our Timing 
And 
We Have "The Reason" About Which To Rejoice 

And

Merciful Powers
That Is When We Haul Out Our Grandparents' Favorite Song 
And 
Attempt To Burst Somebody's Ear-Drums As We Sing: 

"I Am Delivered! 
Praise The Lord!" 

We Should Be Ashamed Of Ourselves 
And 
We Should Do A Haul 'n Pull 
Aka Haul Back The 
"Where Was God When ... !?!" 
And 
Dig Deep For A Big Dipper Full Of 
"Jehovah, Hallelujah! 
My God Always Provides!" 

Dear Ones, 

It Takes No Effort To Sing Unto God 
When You Have Cash To Burn
Food To Waste
Clothes Enough To Dry-Rot
Nice Children
The Adoring Spouse
And 
Pleasant Work! 

If, However
You Can Pray, Praise
And 
Lift Up The Lord In The Midst Of The Storms In Your Life
You Know For Sure That You Are Cooking With Gas! 


PRAYER:

Dear Lord, 
Oh, That We Who Call Ourselves
Committed Christians 
May Be As The Whistling Kettle That
Sings Its Best Music 
When The Non-Stop Heat Is Applied
 To Its Bare Bottom 
And
The Only Stress-Reliever
Is To Sing Unto God 
Until Relief
The Promise Of Very Present Help
Swiftly Arrives! 

Thank You, Lord Jesus
For Being The On-Time
In-Time
Never-Late
Promise-Keeping
Heart-Cleansing
Ever-Loving
Always-Giving God Of Grace 
Who Inhabits Glory! 

Please Help Us To Give You Real Praise 
Because
You Are Our Perfect Love
Blessed Hope
And
Sweet Peace! 
AMEN!!!

Suffering Loss ... + PRAYER: Father, I Don't Know How To Pray





How Do You Live
When You Are Going To Die?

How Do You Laugh
When You Are Going To Cry?

How Do You Sing
When There Is No Song Within
AND
Loving Ain't So Easy When Your Heart Is Aching?

How Do You Care
When You Have Nothing To Share?

How Do You Lie
When The Truth Has You Quaking?

How Do Believe
When Your Faith Has No Seed
AND
Appearing To Stand Tall
Seems Like You're The World Trying To Deceive?

How Do You Pray?
How Do You Say
Father, Dear Father
Is There No Other Way?





Oh, Lord,
I Don't Know How To Pray!
Father,
Are You Even There?
Help Me
My Life Has Lost Its Song
And It Seems As Though
Everything Is Going Wrong!

Lord,
I Don't Feel Like Trusting You
But
Trusting You, I Surely Do!
I Don't Feel Like Praising You
But
Praise You Lord, Is What I Do!
I Don't Feel Like Going On
But
I Am Going On, Lord
For I Have Proved
Time And Again
That You Are Never Wrong!

Father,
Pity Me
In My Dread Plight!
Father
Pity Me
For My Eyes Have No Sight!
Father,
Bless Me
Despite This Dark Day's Night
And
Carry Me On
To Delight In Your Holy Light!
Have Mercy, Dear Lord
On Me!
I Love You, Father!
AMEN
