VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: God's Sword!

Men ... Good And Bad
Are The Hands Of God
Wicked Men ... Are His Sword
So Look In Your Mirror
My Dear Friend
AND
Tell
By Your Works
Who. Is. Your. Lord And God?

God Calls All Men
Into His Service
Good Men Provide The Service Of Care
Wicked Men
Those Who Offer Not Even Deceitful Kisses To Their Maker
By The Wielding Of The Sword Of Chastisement
Will Often
Point A Now-Hurting Soul
To The Living Loving God
Who Men's Burdens Gladly Bear!
God Desires That No Man Should
From Sin
Eternally Perish!
God Cannot Use Deceit
To Move Us Over To His Way That Is Light
But God ...
Having Compassion
On A Wilfully Wayward Warrior
Will Permit The Edge Of His Sword
To Cleave For Us A Path
To Get Us To The Light That Gives Life!

Just So You Know ...

Almighty God Is Not Like Satan
Capricious
AND
Vile!
Almighty God Is Not Incontinent In His Ways!
Almighty God Gives To All Men
The Same Instruction:

Come Unto Me

If Your Desire Is 

To Walk ... In My Straight Way!

The Lord Marks The Path
Provides Provision For The Journey
AND
Stipulates
What Will Happen To Us
If We Walk Within
OR 
Without
His All Seeing All Knowing
Ever Present Eye!

Before The Journey's Start
God Itemizes
Upfront
Blessings Within
AND
Curses Without
His Supervision
After Having Issued To Every Man At His Birth
Free Will
To Willingly Walk With His Maker
Or On Our Own
In Alliance With The Arch Rebel
In Vanity 
To Walk About!

So,  Please ...

Don't Curse The Almighty
When Heart Head And Hand
Are From Sword-Cuts Bleeding!
Don't Curse The Almighty
When By Choice
You Ate What That Wicked Satan 
Was Your Mouth Strenuously Feeding!

You Had A Choice
AND
You Exercised Personal Free Will
AND
Your Own Cup 
- With Indignities Toward The Almighty -
You Were Yourself Filling
With The Swill Swallowed As Directed 
By Wicked Satan's Avid Leading!

AND NOW ...

Now That Almighty God Has Acquired 
Your Undivided Available Attention
Please ... Check Yourself
AND
In Your Peril ... Turn To God
AND
Repenting Of Your Sin
Ask Him
Please, To Take The Bitter Cup From You
Far Away
AND
Invite Him 
To Make His Permanent Home
In The Heart Of You
That To Him 
You Are Now Offering!

With Brokenness And Contriteness Of Heart
Humbly Acknowledge
That Your Heavenly Father Knows Best
AND
Be Grateful
That Forgiveness
AND
Restoration
Are Available
Upon Personal Request
- No Marian Intermediary -
AND
Then Permit God
To Do For A Hurting Child
What He Does Best
That Is 
To Ever Comfort 
Teach
Save
AND
Bless
AND
Fit Us 
To Get Us 
Into The Eternal Home!
