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!!!
