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!
